Geelong SC

Geelong Soccer Club (Formerly Geelong Makedonia, West Geelong, East Geelong) is an Australian soccer club based in Geelong, Australia founded in 1958 by Geelong's Macedonian Australian community.

In 2019, Geelong SC obtained National Premier Leagues Victoria status after being crowned 2018 champions of Football Victoria State League 1 North-West. Geelong SC is based at Winslow Park which is located in the Stead Park Sports Precinct in Corio, Victoria and is strongly supported by the Macedonian community of Geelong.

The Geelong Soccer Club was established in the early 1950s as a way of playing soccer and socialising.

Not long after the club was established, it began competing in the local Geelong and Ballarat Soccer League where it experienced local success.

In the early seventies the club was promoted to the Victorian Provisional League and later gained promotion to the Victorian State League.

In 1994, East Geelong Soccer Club moved to Stead Park after forming a merger with the old Geelong Soccer and Sports Club. The merger saw the club retain the Geelong Soccer and Sports Club name while replacing the former Geelong Soccer and Sports Club logo with a new Macedonian Lion logo.

Since the season of 1968, the club has won 10 championships. The championships were won in the following seasons: 1968 – 1969 – 1970 – 1976 – 1980 – 1988 – 1996 – 1998 – 2016 – 2018.

Geelong had a strong second half of the State League 2 North-West season in 2015 after the mid-season appointment of former West Ham Utd and Sydney FC player Stevie Laurie who promptly brought in Scottish central defender Marc McCafferty, but the poor first couple of months meant that the ambitious outfit had to settle for 6th place. In the 2015 FFA Cup preliminary rounds, Geelong beat Waverley Wanderers 5–0, Hoppers Crossing 3–1 and Westgate FC 3–1 to progress to the fifth qualifying round. There, they met National Premier Leagues Victoria powerhouse Hume City FC, going down at ABD Stadium.
