Was having a bit of a think about what clubs are out there in Australia that have their roots in ethnic communities that aren't too common in the game. We all know about the plethora of Italian, Greek, Croatian, Serbian and Macedonian clubs around the country, but what else is out there? Here's a list I came up with off the top of my head (mainly focused on NPL and state league level sides):
Current: Portuguese – Fraser Park (NSW), Dulwich Hill (NSW) Dutch – Lions FC (QLD), Morley Windmills (WA) German – Richmond SC (VIC) Hungarian – St. George (NSW) Polish – Croydon City (SA) Ukrainian – Inglewood Utd (WA) Bosnian – Bossy Liverpool (NSW), Gazy Auburn (NSW) Albanian – Dandenong Thunder (VIC) Greek-Macedonian – Heidelberg Utd (VIC) Aromanian – Pascoe Vale (VIC) Maltese – Parramatta Melita (NSW), Green Gully (VIC), Caroline Springs George Cross (VIC) Cypriot – Stanmore Hawks (NSW), Bentleigh Greens (VIC) Turkish – Hume City (VIC) Lebanese – Rydalmere Lions (NSW) Irish – Carramar Shamrock Rovers (WA) Chilean – Colo Colo (NSW) Jewish – Sydney Hakoah (NSW) Defunct: Czechoslovak: Sydney Prague (NSW) Pan-Yugoslav: Footscray JUST (VIC), Yugal (NSW)
Any others?
