The Old Dominion Soccer Complex is a soccer-specific stadium located on the campus of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. The 4,000-seat stadium is home to the Old Dominion Monarchs soccer teams. The Monarchs compete in the Sun Belt Conference. The stadium is also the host of the annual Stihl/ODU Soccer Classic.[1]

The stadium opened in 1990 replacing the university's football stadium, Foreman Field, as the home of Old Dominion soccer.[2] The opening game was a 1–1 tie against the College of William and Mary with 3200 fans in attendance.[3] Between the 2002 and 2005 seasons, the Monarchs men's soccer team had a 32 match regular season unbeaten streak at the complex.[4] The stadium has hosted the 1991, 1992, and 2005 Colonial Athletic Association Men's Soccer Tournaments,[5] along with NCAA College Cup games in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2017.[2] The complex has also hosted the 2014 and 2017 Conference USA Men's Soccer Tournaments which were both won by the home standing Monarchs.[6]
