MORELAND CITY FC

Club History
Established in 1916 as Moreland FC, over the course of more than 100 hundred years Moreland City FC has changed significantly. In 1934, the Coburg Soccer Club merged with a breakaway group from the then Brunswick Soccer Club to become Moreland. It adopted the alternate names Moreland Victoria and Moreland Thistle between 1965 and 1970. After the 1985 season Moreland City merged with Park Rangers to form Moreland Park Rangers. In 1990, Moreland Park Rangers merged with the new Coburg football club to form Moreland City Football Club as it is known today.

In 1991, the club competed in the Victorian State League Division 3. Moreland suffered successive relegations in 1992 and 1993, falling from Victorian State League Division 3 to VPL Division 1, but were promoted back to State League 4 after winning the league in 1995. The Club was again promoted in 1998 to State League 3 after taking out the league title. In 2000, Moreland City moved up to State League Division 2 Nth-West after a restructuring of Victorian football.
