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?

Defunct - Penrith Uruguay

Richmond is now serb :) 

But great thread. I have an old book about defunct Aussie clubs and will chuck a few in when I fish it out.

A few Portuguese clubs that I know of: Elwood City (VIC), Casuarina (Portuguese/Timorese - NT) and Brisbane Athletic (QLD). I think there was one in WA but as shown on Football Belongs on Optus Sport, it no longer functions as a football club. There also used to be one in Wollongong but they pulled out of all football competitions about 2 or 3 years ago. 

Melbourne City FC (VIC) the club who had a legal stoush with their A-league namesakes have Argentinian roots. Similarly, River Plate ran an academy in Dandenong under the name, South-Eastern Piranhas, they were very strong in FFV junior competitions - shame the club became defunct

Additionally, the following teams play in the lower state leagues of VIC - except Easter Lions who play in the NPL:

Romania - Rowville Eagles FC (VIC)
Dutch - Ringwood City (VIC)
Armenia - Brandon Park (VIC)
Jewish - North Caulfield Maccabi (VIC) ... also I believe Melbourne Hakoah merged with South Melbourne in 80's?
Albanian - North Sunshine Eagles (VIC)
Chile - Laverton FC (VIC) 
German - Knox City FC (VIC)
Bosnia & Herzegovina - Heatherton United (VIC)
Britain / England - Eastern Lions (VIC)

Also Monash City Villareal are a newly renamed / merged club that play in VIC State League 4, so technically they have Spanish roots I suppose?
 

Keilor Park SC were started by Austrians and wear the violet of FK Austria Wien. 

Western Eagles FC are the former Polonia Melbourne/Maribynong who made the Australia Cup final in 1963 against Slavia Melbourne.

honestly a shame imo. There are plenty of Serbian clubs around after all those great former Yugoslav clubs folded in the 90's but i can't even think of another German club in the Country. Not to mention the takeover wasn't exactly popular.

This is great, keep them coming!

So happy there's a Romanian club somewhere. Now all we need is a Bulgarian club and south-eastern Europe will be covered.

Ironically enough the Argentine Melbourne City was a takeover from the Yugoslav Footscray JUST after they were demoted from the NSL (they were even officially called Melbourne City in their last NSL season if memory serves correctly). Likewise Laverton was a Chilean takeover of Prahran Slavia (Melbourne's Czechoslovak club).

The Czechoslovak clubs interest me because as far as I am aware there was not a lot of migration from there, but they absolutely killed it in the 1950s and 1960s (partly with the help of illegal signings, at least in Sydney).

Homenetmen in Sydney is another Armenian club, albeit district level only.

Fairfield Bulls is Assyrian, used to be state league in NSW but now district level.

British clubs opens up a can of worms, as a lot of Newcastle/Wollongong clubs could be counted as British as they were founded by coalminers from the UK in the late 19th and early 20th century, but at that time the distinction between "British" and (white) "Australian" was virtually non-existent. Itäs true that Eastern Lions was founded much later though.

What happened there that brought about such a sharp decline? In 2010 they were Vic premiers, then within a few years relegation, near-bankruptcy and this takeover (which is news to me).

Hakoah had co-tenancy at Middle Park and when their senior team fodled due to lack of interest we merged their junior club with Hellas from what I know. 

Greek  Macedonian - Altona East Phoenix (PAOK) (VIC)
Hungarian - Parkmore Soccer Club (VIC) ~ I think is a continuation of the old Hungaria club???
Polish - Polonia - Western Eagles (VIC)

There are also a whole bunch of South Sudanese and other African clubs playing in armature comp in SE Melbourne dont know any of their names sorry.

Played for an East-Timorese side for a season in Darwin when I first moved there. The name escapes me. (Casuarina maybe?) They'd be defunct now.

Interesting would be a look into the football comps and teams playing when the Snowy was being built. My Dad used to go there to play teams and he said some games were pretty fiery.

Used to play against Homenetmen in Association Prem 1's back in the 80's.....
Be it they got thrown out from another District came to ours.
In time they morphed - got thrown out or moved to another District and known now as Ararat but there is 2 Club, the other is Antranig.
They have been playing in SL levels nowadays.
https://ararat.org.au/soccer/ http://www.homenetmenantranig.com.au/

• Antranig (1965): Sydney North Shore
  
• Arax (1966): Melbourne
  
• Navasart (1973): Sydney Western Suburbs
  
• Gamk (1981): Sydney Eastern Suburbs
  
• Ararat (1989): Sydney Northern Districts

I guess is depends on your definition of "unusual", but excluding Croatian, Serbian, Greek, Italian, here in WA we have;

Stirling Macedonia (State league 1 - just won promotion to the NPL next season)
Dianella White Eagles (Serbian) (State league 2 - just won promotion to State league 1 next season)
Carramar Shamrock Rovers (Irish, I assume) (State league 2)
Maccabbi (Jewish) (Amateur division 2)
Westnam United (Vietnamese) (Amateur division 2)
Brozzy FC (Brazilian) (Amateur division 3)
Cracovia SC (Polish) (Amateur division 4)

Heidelberg Eagles or stars is one. Somalian from memory

Casuarina is still there, they're playing against Lions FC in the FFA Cup. I didn't realise they were Timorese though.

Ok that's good to know they're still going.

Was a long time ago mate when I played for them. 1995 or 1996. (Moved to University Knights after that.) 

Edit: Maybe they weren't an 'East Timorese' club. Maybe the players were just mainly from there. I can't be sure. (Definitely mostly East Timorese players though.)

Just looking at the background of this photo it says 'Portugese and what looks like 'Timor'.

Nice little ground this one and the Portuguese club is pretty cool as well. 

I've often thought it'd be a prime spot for a boutique 20k seat stadium. Literally 5 mins from Sydenham station and 10 minutes from the Marrachville shops. Would be a snug fit and parking/traffic on game day would be an issue I guess. 

A lot of Timorese in Darwin.

As posted above, its a Portuguese/Timorese club.

Add mariybinong  greens to the bih  list.  As well as Springvale city (kud) 
Also add altona city to the English clubs

Just moved to Darwin, can confirm Casuarina is Portuguese/East Timorese and massive Boavista vibes. Also have Palmerston Rovers (Darwin Rovers-Palmerston merger) which are Irish roots. Also have Darwin Hearts which are a Nepalese side now in the Norzone Prem.

I help volunteer for Football Manager and do their research in WA. Judging from the newgen specs put in the game. The following are in my document:

Leeming Strikers (ex-Alemannia) who are German roots
Fraser Park are Afghan
Emerald FC , Carramar Shamrock Rovers and Hannan's are Irish
Westnam are vietnamese
Jaguar FC are South-Sudanese majority
BB United are Bosnian
Olympic Kingsway are Greek-Maco whatever it is these days
Morley Windmills are Dutch
Perth Lions AFC are South African
Fremantle City is a mix of multiple merger including a Portuguese club which they keep the colours from IIRC
Maccabi are Israeli
Ashfield and Bunbury Dynamos are Welsh
Inglewood are Ukranian
Cracovia and Polonia are Polish
Bassendean and Albany Caledonians are Scottish
BrOzzy are Brazilian

Besides the usual greek, serb, croat and italian clubs that is what I can muster.

Maccabi are Jewish not Israeli 

Daddy chill

There's also East Perth FC (not to be confused with the WAFL club with the same name) who are also Irish, and also Amateur div 1 like their fellow countrymen Emerald FC.

resevoir yeti in vic state league 5 north are from a nepalese background. I believe one season they had a nepalese international play with them

Numerous Hungarian teams which were created after the immigration of 1956:
Burnside Budapest in Adelaide 
Melbourne Hungaria who won the VIC State League and Australia Cup in 1967
FTC in Canberra 
Budapest then St George Budapest from Sydney.
Sadly all have folded and completely disappeared only St George still exists and the Hungarians have long gone…..

I mentioned Parkmour SC in Keysborough..l I'm sure they are Hungarian and always thought they where a continuation of the original Hungaria club?

Yes, great call. My daughters best friends dad played for them and we went a long a couple of times to watch........

All these wonderful clubs, just a great thing to watch the real essence of multiculturalism..... such a crime against humanity that they are all excluded from the Apartheid league......
