- Albert Park Football Club
The Albert Park Football Club is an Australian rules football club which played in the VFA during the 19th century and now plays in the Victorian Amateur Football Association. Their club colours are red and white and they're based in the Melbourne suburb of Albert Park
Albert Park joined the Victorian Football Association in 1877 thus becoming one of the eight inaugural members. They finished 4th in their debut season but their stay in the league would be short lived because in 1880 they merged with South Melbourne. As part of South Melbourne they won five VFA premierships between 1881 and 1890. South Melbourne FC went on to join the VFL, and later became the Sydney Swans of today (2008).
The newer entity of Albert Park Football Club have become affiliated with the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), a competition that covers all of greater metropolitan Melbourne. The VAFA has over 70 senior clubs, and around 3,500 registered players. The club has its origins going back to the 1920’s and has progressed from affiliation with the ANZ Bank Staff Social Club to it’s current suburban identity in the inner-suburban Albert Park area of Melbourne.
Known as the Falcons, the Club has always been based at Albert Park, the former Clubrooms and playing area were moved when the Grand Prix site was formed. The Club is now situated at the Beaurepaire Pavilion on Oval 20.
