The 1917 Haverford Fords men's soccer team represented Haverford College during the 1917–18 ISFL season.[3] It was the Fords' 16th season of existence. The team consolidated as the national soccer team in the country.[4]
During a banquet held by the Haverford Alumni Committee in January 1917, it was announced that George Young had been re-engaged as coach of the team, starting his third year managing the soccer squad.[2]
The Fords won the IAFL national championship this season, making it their 7th. ISFA/ISFL national championship, the predecessor national soccer championship to the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship. Including pre-regulation titles, it was the Fords' sixth national title.[5][6][7]
