Georgia State Panthers men's soccer

The Georgia State Panthers men's soccer team represents Georgia State University (GSU) in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. As of the 2022 season, the Panthers play in their full-time home of the Sun Belt Conference (SBC), which reinstated the sport after a one-season hiatus.[2] During the SBC's men's soccer hiatus, GSU had been a single-sport member of the Mid-American Conference.[3] However, following a major conference realignment in 2021 and 2022 brought several new men's soccer schools to the SBC, that league announced it would reinstate men's soccer no later than 2023,[4] eventually moving that date forward to 2022.[2]

Rivalries

Georgia State's main rival is Georgia Southern.[6] The multi-sports rivalry is known as "Modern Day Hate".[7][8] State and Southern remain conference rivals in men's soccer, as Southern moved that sport to the MAC along with State[3] before the SBC reinstated men's soccer in 2022.
