History of Melbourne City FC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The history of Melbourne City Football Club covers the time from the club's foundation to change of ownership to periods of success.
Melbourne City Football Club was founded in 2009 as Melbourne Heart; an expansion club to the A-League Men for the 2010–11 season. They were bought by the City Football Group for $12 million in 2014 and subsequently changing the club's name to Melbourne City.
Their first trophy was won in the 2016 FFA Cup final through John van 't Schip. It was only until the 2020–21 season where the club would win their first league premiership and championship. They became the first Australian club to win three consecutive league premierships in 2020–21, 2021–22 and 2022–23.
