We are Mundial FC, the premier club soccer team at Cornell University. Here at Mundial were not just a collective, but a family of dedicated and compassionate players. We are committed to playing competitive college soccer with established players from all over the world. On Mundial, we create a playing environment that's easy-going and fun as well as competitive. Our motto 'it's mundy baby' serves as a statement to the history of Cornell's oldest soccer club and the togetherness of our squad.
Mundial is proud of its tradition of excellence. This includes the undefeated reigning Finger Lakes division champion, 9 straight regional tournament berths, and 3 straight National Championships berths. Cornell Mundial has also won 4 of the last 5 Gorges Classic Tournaments held in Ithaca, NY. With a very competitive squad this year, we are looking to challenge for Regional and National Championships again and restore the winning nature of the club.
Mundial is 100% student-run. We compete in the New York Collegiate Club Soccer League and various tournaments both in and out of state. Team practices are held 3 times a week at Schoelkopf and the North Campus Turf fields, where we run high-level trainings and work hard to develop our physical and technical skills.

The 2021-2022 season was a tough race as the team experimented with different lineups over the course of the fall, narrowly missing out on a spot in regionals by a matter of goal differential! Off the back of defeat, we move again as we look to compete and win in this coming spring season.
The 2018-2019 season was one of the best in recent history and we will look to defend our regional and national bids for the second straight year. Mundial finished the season with an 18-2-1 record and a number two ranking in the Northeast region. The team competed at the Regional Tournament in New Castle, Delaware and made it the quarterfinals.
The season did not end there as the team flew down to Gulf Shores Alabama to represent Cornell in the National Tournament. Mundial defeated teams from Iowa and Kansas, but was unable to move on the championship bracket.

The 2017-18 season built on recent success to put together one of the most historical years for Mundial. We finished the fall season as undefeated champions of the Finger Lakes League in Region 1. Having qualified for the Regional Tournament in New Castle, Delaware during the final week of October, Mundial drove several hours to compete against other quality teams from the northeast. In November, Mundial then flew to Phoenix, Arizona to play in the National Tournament amongst teams from all over the country.
During the spring semester, Mundial again entered in the indoor Men's Competitive and co-ed leagues. We plan to compete in the second annual Gorges Classic "Viagra in Niagara: World Cup Classic" tournament.

The 2016-17 campaign saw Mundial start off on the right note, winning the Gorges Classic tournament to become back-to-back champions. The team finished the season just a point shy of the league title. With a successful winter league competing in the men's league and co-ed league with Women's Club Soccer, Mundial attended the inaugural Niagara Soccer tournament in Niagara, NY. Off the pitch, Mundial co-hosted a charity charity tournament Kick it For Kids which raised over $600 for the local Ithaca Youth Bureau.
In the 2015 – 2016 season, Mundial proved successful once again. Ranking as high as #5 out of 124 teams in the Northeast Region. For the sixth straight year, the team earned a spot at the Regional tournament, and went undefeated in regular league play. Mundial FC also won the Gorges Classic Tournament in the fall, to cap off an already great season. The team continued to grow together in the winter season and through various social events.
The 2014 – 2015 season turned out to be another success for Mundial FC. For the fifth time in a row, Cornell Mundial FC was selected to represent the school at the Regional tournament in PA. The team also managed an undefeated season in the fall league. At Regionals, Mundial managed its best effort to date, earning a spot to the semi-finals and only missing out on the finals by one goal. The winter season also proved to be successful for the team, as Mundial won the winter league championship.
In the 2013 – 2014 season, Mundial FC continued to build on the successes of the previous seasons. For the fourth straight year, Mundial represented Cornell at the Regional tournament, after remaining unbeaten in the league. The team was even ranked as high as #2 in Region 1 for the second straight year. At Regionals, despite an undefeated group stage effort (and a tie with the eventual tournament winner), Mundial was one spot shy of progressing to the knockout stage. The same triumphs were reflected in the Conference tournament, as Mundial beat Syracuse 2 – 1 in the Final, securing an automatic bid to Regionals for the following season. The indoor season also went well, with only a single loss to break the team’s otherwise perfect indoor record. Off the field, the team continued to grow together during a variety of different social events.
The 2012-2013 Outdoor Season was another good one for Mundial, going undefeated in its league and representing Cornell for the third straight year at the Regional Tournament. Mundial also won the 2013 Ivy League championship, beating Yale 2-1 in the Final after beating Princeton, and Brown on the way. The team fell just short in the conference tournament, falling to Buffalo 2-1 in the Final. The team was ranked as high as 2nd in Region One and entered the Regional Tournament as the 6 seed. The indoor season brought similar success for Mundial. The team enjoyed itself off the field as well, hosting various social events with other club teams and its traditional senior send off event the weekend before Finals.
In the 2011-2012 Outdoor Season, hard work on and off the field led to great success for Mundial. Ranking as high as 3rd in Region One and finishing ranked sixth, Mundial went 14-4-2, and made it to the elimination phase of the Regional Tournament, representing Cornell for the second straight year and extending its winning streak against all other Cornell teams to two years in all competitions. The team also placed second at the highly-competitive Penn State tournament. While the elusive bid to nationals slipped away from the team by one win for the second year in a row, the players of Mundial are determined to keep improving and playing soccer at the highest level. Mundial also enjoyed a successful indoor season in men's and co-ed leagues.
The 2010-2011 Season brought great success for Mundial, as the team ranked as high as #6 in the Northeast Region. The team lost just two games in league play, reached the finals of the Penn State regional tournament, lost only once during indoor season, and came just a goal away from a bid to the National Tournament. The team was also Cornell's representative at the Regional Tournament. The team looks forward to replicating this success in the 2011-2012 season.
