Falcons 2000 SC
Falcons 2000 Soccer Club (formerly Morwell Falcons, Gippsland Falcons and Eastern Pride) is an Australian semi-professional soccer club based in the Victorian town of Morwell in the Latrobe Valley area of Gippsland. The club currently participates in the Latrobe Valley Soccer League.
As Morwell Falcons, the club achieved lasting national fame by achieving the rare feat of promotion to Tier 1 status in the Australian National Soccer League from what is described now as the Tier 10 Latrobe Valley Soccer League, via promotions in the Australian Association Football pyramid between 1973 and 1992, when promotion to the highest tier was available.
The club has won two Victorian State League titles (1984 and 1989), the 1994 Dockerty Cup, seven Latrobe Valley Soccer League titles and seven Battle of Britain Cup titles.
Originally founded in 1961 by the local Latrobe Valley Italian-Australian Community as IASCOG (Italian-Australian Social Club of Gippsland), a sponsorship deal in 1962 saw them renamed as the Morwell Falcons.
The deal to rename the club was done as part of a promotion for the new Ford Falcon, of which Ford Australia had just launched its first ever model, the XK.
The club participated in the Latrobe Valley Soccer League between 1961 and 1973. Then the Victorian State League Football System at all levels between 1974 and 1992. Morwell Falcons were admitted to the National Soccer League in 1992-93 where it competed until folding after relegation in 2000–01. It was re-established as Falcons 2000 SC Inc in 2001. Since its inception the club has played under multiple names. Including Morwell Falcons, then Gippsland Falcons SC, before folding under the name Eastern Pride in 2001. The club bears its present name Falcons 2000 after its financial re-establishment
The Falcons were one of the most successful clubs in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. Gippsland is all of South-East Victoria (approximately the same size as Switzerland), and includes most of around 100 islands in the region and Bass Strait. Morwell Falcons were Champions of the Victorian State League on two occasions, winning the State League Championship and League Finals Cup double in 1984 and 1989, and the Statewide Dockerty Cup in 1994.
Morwell Falcons were the only club based in regional Victoria to have participated at National Soccer League level before the NSL disbanded in 2003–04. The NSL was replaced with the A-League Men in 2005–06, making the new Tier 1 exclusively for licensed teams only, with no promotion and relegation.
