Big 12 Selects Round Rock for Future Soccer Championships

The Big 12 Conference has selected Round Rock to serve as the host site for the Big 12 Soccer Championship in a multi-year agreement that will run from 2020-22.
 
After a seven-year hiatus, the Championship will return to the state of Texas with Round Rock becoming the second host site located in the Lone Star State (San Antonio, 1997-2012). Matches will be held at the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex.
 
"There's nothing bigger in Texas than watching Big 12 sports and Round Rock is thrilled to host the conference soccer championships for the next three years," said Chad McKenzie, City of Round Rock Sports Management and Tourism Director. "The Round Rock Multipurpose Complex was built for premier athletic events just like this and we look forward to providing the student-athletes and fans an unforgettable tournament experience."
 
Opened in May 2017, the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex is located on 60 acres within Old Settlers Park and features 10 multipurpose fields – half natural grass and half artificial turf. The facility’s versatility and amenities, including shade structures, two championship fields, concessions, ample parking and permanent restrooms, make it a premier outdoor sports destination in Texas.
 
“Round Rock has a history of supporting soccer and the Big 12 is looking forward to that engagement as we continue to elevate this event,” said Dayna Scherf, Big 12 Executive Associate Commissioner for Championships. “Additionally, the staff and management of the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex are experienced in hosting a variety of events and have demonstrated a commitment to using that expertise to provide a championship experience that our teams and fans will enjoy.”

The Big 12 Soccer Championship will follow the current format of an eight-team, single elimination bracket, with the winner receiving the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.
