The Maryland SoccerPlex is a large group of soccer fields located in Germantown, Maryland. The facility was announced in January 1999 as a joint venture between the Maryland Soccer Foundation and Montgomery County, Maryland. The SoccerPlex has 19 playing fields (with a view to expand to 23) and one stadium that seats 3,200.
The Championship Stadium is occasionally used by Major League Soccer side D.C. United for Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF matches when their usual home, RFK Stadium, is unavailable. It is also the home stadium for the Washington Freedom Soccer Club's W-League team.
