# The San Jose Soccer Scene
San Jose is Silicon Valley's soccer city — where the Earthquakes have built one of MLS's most passionate fanbases, and where the extraordinary diversity of the South Bay creates a grassroots scene unlike anywhere else in the US. From East San Jose's Mexican soccer culture to Eastside's Vietnamese and Filipino communities, the city's soccer is as diverse as its population.
The Earthquakes have been a constant presence since MLS's founding year in 1996 — two-time MLS Cup champions who have produced Landon Donovan, Brian Ching, and numerous US National Team contributors. PayPal Park opened in 2015 and remains one of MLS's finest soccer-specific stadiums. Meanwhile, San Jose State and Santa Clara University maintain strong collegiate programs that keep elite college soccer alive in the Valley.
