The Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex, originally known as the Winnipeg Soccer Complex, is a multi-use stadium in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is currently used mostly for soccer matches. The main pitch, John Scouras Field, holds 2,000 spectators. The complex replaced Alexander Park as the main soccer venue in Winnipeg. It has also hosted some matches for the Canada men's national soccer team.

The complex was renamed on June 12, 2016, in honor of Ralph Cantafio, a local soccer executive and pioneer for the sport in the province of Manitoba.[1]

The Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex features two synthetic fields: John Scouras Field #1, and Field #2. Both fields have spectator bleachers and team shelters. The clubhouse contains four dressing rooms, referee rooms, public washrooms, and an open common area. There is an on-site press box, sound system, and scoreclock on John Scouras Field #1, which seats 2,000. Field #2 seats around 750.[2]

The complex was a practice facility for teams during the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup and by the Canadian and United States Women’s National Teams in 2013.[2]
