📼 Melbourne City FC, Australia football club: match highlights videos, News & History

Melbourne City Football Club is an Australian professional soccer club based in the South-Eastern region of Melbourne, Victoria. They compete in the A-League Men, the highest division of soccer in Australia, under licence from the Australian Professional Leagues (APL).

Founded in 2009 as Melbourne Heart, the club competed under that name from its inaugural 2010–11 A-League season until the end of the 2013–14 season. It was rebranded as Melbourne City following its acquisition by the City Football Group (CFG) and Holding M.S. Australia in January 2014. In August 2015, CFG assumed full ownership of the club after purchasing Holding M.S. Australia’s stake.

Since their formation, Melbourne City have won three A-League Men premierships, two championships and one Australia Cup (in 2016).

The club operates out of the City Football Academy, located within the Casey Fields sports precinct in Cranbourne East, a south-eastern suburb of Melbourne. Melbourne City’s home matches are played at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, known as AAMI Park for sponsorship reasons, a 30,050-seat multi-purpose venue situated in the city centre.

Melbourne City’s youth team competes in both the A-Leagues Youth (last held in 2019) and in the Victorian Premier League 1 (VPL1), the second tier of football in Victoria. Additionally, Melbourne City Women compete in the A-League Women.
