FC Melbourne Srbija
FC Melbourne Srbija (Serbian Cyrillic: ФК Мелбурн Србија), commonly known as Melbourne Serbia (formerly known as Fitzroy City Srbija Soccer Club from 1991 to 2022), is a semi professional football club in Australia based in Melbourne, Victoria. The club was founded by Serbian Australians in 1963 and currently competes in the Victoria Premier League 1.
The club was founded in 1963. In 1966 the club became a member of the Victorian Provisional League and in the same year renamed to Carlton Serbia. The club was founded primarily by members of the St. Sava Orthodox Church in Carlton, Victoria. Carlton Serbia played most of their home games in the inner suburbs of Melbourne and featured mainly players from the local Serbian Australian Community. Subsequently, the club merged with Ringwood United and became known as Ringwood Serbia. In 1991 the club became Fitzroy City or Fitzroy Serbia and played its games at the old ground of the ex VFL/AFL club Fitzroy Lions at Edinburgh Gardens in Fitzroy, noticeable players of the club including Nik Kovacevic, Zlatko Mihajlovic, Miki Sedlarevic, Sasha Milenkovic and Nick Gameras.

The season concluded with the club being relegated, finishing on 22 points. Among several notable moments, the club’s standout performance came in a 4–1 victory over the then-mighty Port Melbourne Sharks.
On 2 February 2000, Fitzroy City had the honour of hosting an iconic exhibition match against former European and World Champions Red Star Belgrade in Melbourne at Heidelberg United's Olympic Park in Heidelberg West, Victoria.
