Living in such an exciting city makes the University of Central Florida very attractive to students who want to get jobs or [[internships]] nearby. Sometimes the University of Central Florida's name is shortened to '''UCF''', especially when talking about the school's sports teams. UCF was founded in 1969 and has continued growing ever since. UCF's sports teams, known as Knights, now play in the [[Big 12 Conference]] after leaving the [[American Athletic Conference]] in July 2023. The only exception is the men's soccer team. Because the Big 12 sponsors soccer for women but not men, that team plays in the [[Sun Belt Conference]]. {{Big 12 Conference}} {{Sun Belt Conference}}<!--Men's soccer--> {{authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Central Florida}} [[Category:Colleges and universities in Florida]] [[Category:Big 12 Conference]] [[Category:Orlando, Florida]] [[Category:1969 establishments in the United States]] [[Category:1960s establishments in Florida]]
