Melbourne City Football Club is an Australian professional soccer club based in the South-Eastern region of Melbourne, Victoria. They compete in the A-League Men, the highest division of soccer in Australia, under licence from the Australian Professional Leagues (APL).
Founded in 2009 as Melbourne Heart, the club competed under that name from its inaugural 2010–11 A-League season until the end of the 2013–14 season. It was rebranded as Melbourne City following its acquisition by the City Football Group (CFG) and Holding M.S. Australia in January 2014. In August 2015, CFG assumed full ownership of the club after purchasing Holding M.S. Australia’s stake.
Since their formation, Melbourne City won three A-League Men premierships, one championship and the Australia Cup in 2016.
