The Georgia State Panthers men's soccer team represents Georgia State University (GSU) in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. The Panthers currently play in the Mid-American Conference, having joined that league as a single-sport member in July 2021 after GSU's full-time home of the Sun Belt Conference (SBC) shut down its men's soccer league.[2] However, following a major conference realignment in 2021 brought several new men's soccer schools to the SBC, that league announced it would reinstate men's soccer no later than 2023.[3]
