South Melbourne Football Club is an Australian semi-professional soccer club based in suburb of Albert Park, in Melbourne, Victoria. The club currently competes in the National Premier Leagues Victoria, with matches played at Lakeside Stadium.
The club was founded in 1959 by Greek migrants following World War II as South Melbourne Hellas (Greek: Νότια Μελβούρνη Ελλάς), with a basis in the Greek community.
The club has won four Australian national championships, a string of Victorian State League titles, numerous Dockerty Cups and represented Oceania in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship. Along with the Marconi Stallions, they were one of two clubs to compete in every season of the National Soccer League.
The club was chosen by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics as the Oceania Club of the Century for the 20th century.[2]
