The original Swinburne Soccer Club was formed in 1977 with the first season competed in being the following year. The club had many successful years until the club was forced to fold in the late 90’s.

In 2003, past players and current Swinburne students re-formed the club committee and two men’s teams were formed and the club joined the Amateur Soccer Federation of Victoria (VicSoccer) with a Seniors and Reserves team.

Our home ground was set up at Markham Reserve in Ashburton.

The following year the club moved to better (and closer) facilities at Fritsch Holzer Park in Camberwell, and entered a women’s team into the VicSoccer women’s league. Unfortunately the women’s competition was abolished by the league the following year however the men’s teams continued to grow.

In 2006 the club expanded again and relocated to bigger and better facilities at its current home of Howard Dawson Reserve in Glen Iris.

In 2012 the Women’s team won the first Championship trophy for Swinburne FC in the modern era.

The Men’s team make the transfer from VicSoccer to the Football Federation of Victoria (FFV).

After the collapse of the majority of the playing group from 2018, Swinburne FC make the move into the Metropolitan leagues starting a new era for the club as games were moved to Sundays.

Swinburne FC’s Senior Men win the Metro 5 South-East division after finishing on top of the table with 16 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Scoring an impressive 83 goals in 18 league matches. The then went on to win the Metro 5 Grand Final, knocking off Fawkner Soccer Club 2-0 to be crowned champions of Metro 5.
