Safeway United were a former football (soccer) club based in the Illawarra. They were formed by influential members of the Corrimal Rangers in 1958. For most of the club's existence they were known as South Coast United when they amalgamated with Woonona-Bulli Soccer Club in 1961 before changing their name to Safeway United in 1973 when they were financially backed by Safeway Motors.[1] The club played in the NSW First Division before being absorbed by fellow Wollongong-based club, Balgownie Rangers prior to the creation of the first national league, the National Soccer League. This meant that the club played at the highest level of soccer in Australia for all 17 years of the clubs existence.
The club initially played its home matches out of Memorial Park, Corrimal when competing as Corrimal United (1958–1960) and Balls Paddock, Woonona from 1961 with the subsequent amalgamation with Woonona-Bulli Soccer Club.
Throughout its history, Safeway United won three minor premierships (in 1958, 1965 and 1969) as well as one grand final championship in 1963. The club was also a finalist in the 1963 and 1964 editions of the Federation Cup. They qualified for the NSW First Division Finals series seven times and the Australia Cup four times.
