Our story

History

Football has run in this club's blood since 1968, when Ballarat Soccer Club formed out of a meeting at the Bunch of Grapes Hotel and won a championship in its very first season. Five decades followed — the Trekardo Park years, an unbeaten 1992 title, the Ballarat United and Red Devils eras, and a rise into the inaugural NPL Victoria in 2014 at the new Morshead Park facility. In 2016, members reformed the club as Ballarat City FC: one club for one city.

The women's story runs just as deep — from the Lady Devils to the Eureka Strikers, who joined Ballarat City in 2019 to unite the city's football under one crest.
