Spartan Soccer Complex is a roughly 1,560-seat soccer-specific stadium on the campus of San Jose State University in San Jose, California. It is the home to the San Jose State Spartans men's and women's college soccer teams.[1]
History
After plans fell through in 2007 for a new San Jose State Stadium which would have housed the school's football and soccer teams as well as the San Jose Earthquakes, the site sat unused before eventually serving as practice fields and stadium parking.[2] Both teams played at CEFCU Stadium until the site was developed into the Spartan Soccer Complex and completed ahead of the 2017 NCAA soccer season.[3]
To celebrate the opening of the complex, the Spartans hosted the #1 Stanford Cardinal, losing 0–4. The Spartans' first goal and first win in the complex came a week later with a 3–2 win over the UC Davis Aggies.[4] In 2018, the complex hosted the Mountain West Conference women's soccer tournament, which the Spartans won.[1][5]
In 2026, the complex was chosen as the base camp of the Paraguay National Team for the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup.[6][7]
