Support the Men’s Soccer program on UCI Giving Day!

The pathway to success in the BWC and the NCAA level has been modified and the margin of success is becoming smaller each day. It truly takes an army of committed individuals to join forces and push to achieve greatness. Our Men’s Soccer student-athletes have been nothing short of impressive with their relentless pursuit of excellence on and off the field and the results have shown. However, our successful journey wouldn’t be possible without our alumni, boosters, and families who consistently put their time and resources into the program to elevate us.

Our players and staff are noticing the impact of each visit on campus, email responses and dollars donated, and we are all thankful for those who choose to believe in us. UCI is a special place and the athletic department, specifically our Men’s Soccer program, is more than just another team - we are a family. 

We are hopeful you will continue to support us this Giving Day as it elevates so many parts of our organization. Your Giving Day gift allows us to fuel our athletes, continue challenging the group with an elite schedule, bring innovative teaching tools to the locker room, and most importantly add talent to an already quality roster. 

Thank you in advance for being part of our family and helping us continue our impressive journey.
