FC Bulleen Lions

Founded in 1974 by Melbourne's Italian community, the club currently competes in the National Premier Leagues Victoria 2, the second highest level of Victorian state soccer.

Bulleen finished the season equal first with Juventus, but lost out on top spot by virtue of a lower goal difference.

That was a famous year for the club as the first major title was secured, first winning the Premiers Plate for their first-place finish and then grabbing the Championship by beating Fawkner in the Grand Final.

2014 saw Bulleen participate in the inaugural National Premier Leagues Victoria 2 campaign, finishing in fifth place in the 14 team competition under head coach Fabrizio Soncin.

[5] Bulleen opened their NPL Victoria season with a 1–0 loss to Bentleigh Greens, before a 1–0 win over Oakleigh Cannons and then two successive draws to Melbourne Victory Youth and South Melbourne, with the match against South drawing over 2,000 people to the Veneto Club, the largest attendance at the ground for a Bulleen match in many years.

[6] Bulleen finished in 11th place, two points clear of the relegation playoff spot after defeating Hume City FC 2–0 at ABD Stadium on the final match-day of the season.

[7] A few weeks after the end of the season, head coach Dom Barba departed the club to take up a role at Port Melbourne.
