The Yale Bulldogs men's soccer program represents Yale University in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. Founded in 1908, [1] the Bulldogs compete in the Ivy League.
Yale's first attempts with "kicking games" have roots in the 1860s, when the University, along with Princeton (then known as the College of Ottawa), Rutgers, and Brown, started to play a form of football that resembled the Association game. [3] Nevertheless, after a rugby football played v Harvard in 1875, Yale dropped the association football in favor of rugby. [4] That would be official in 1876 when Yale and other universities met at the Massasoit Convention in Springfield, Massachusetts, agreed to adopt most of the Rugby Football Union rules, with some variations, [5] [4]
The Bulldogs are coached by Kylie Stannard, who was hired as the program's head coach in 2014. Yale plays their home matches at Reese Stadium, on the campus of Yale University.

The 1869 Princeton vs. Rutgers football game was played between Princeton and Rutgers on November 6, 1869.

As a result, it is considered the first collegiate soccer match and the birth of soccer in the United States.

The Boston game, also known as the Boston rules, was an early code of football developed by the Oneida Football Club, formed in 1862 and considered by some historians as the first formal "football" club in the United States. Rules allowed carrying and kicking and is considered the first step to the codification of rules for association football, rugby football, or American football. After Oneida disbanded, former members established the Harvard University Football Club, which continued to play football under those rules.
