Boys Soccer History

The WIAA began sponsoring a tournament program in boys soccer in 1982. Whitefish Bay won the first team championship by blanking Brookfield East 2-0 in the title game.

The first State Tournament was held at Menomonee Falls. It moved to Neenah in 1983 and was held in Madison from 1988-2002. In 2003, the State Tournament was moved to its current location at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee. In 2020, the State Tournament was conducted at three different locations because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sites were Mukwonago H.S. for Division 1, Marshfield H.S. for Division 2 and Kewaskum for Division 3. The 2020-21 season also featured an alternate season for fall programs in the spring for schools unable to participate in th fall because of COVID-19 pandemic  concerns. The sites of those events were Kewaskum H.S. for Division 1 and Marian University in Fond du Lac for Division 2. 

In 1992, a two-division format was instituted for the first time, with eight schools in the Division 1 State tournament and four schools in Division 2. The three-division format was introduced in 2002. Eight schools qualified in Division 1 and four qualified in Divisions 2 and 3. In 2013, the four-division format was introduced with four teams qualifying in each of the divisions. In 2020, because of the reduction of teams sponsoring the sport in the fall, four teams qualified in three divisions.

Marquette has won 16 championships to lead all schools. The Prairie School and Whitefish Bay are next on the list with seven titles. Oregon has won five titles, and Xavier has won four.
