Fitzroy Soccer Club was an Australian association football (soccer) club based in the inner-northern Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy.
The club was founded in 1966 by the local Italian community and competed in the modern day Victorian state league system.
In its eighty-year existence the club achieved three league premierships, and was nicknamed the 'Azzurri' after the Italy national football team.
The club was initially known as 'Fitzroy', assumably being named after the relevant inner north-eastern suburb where many European immigrants settled in Melbourne following the second world war.
[8] In its final season in 1973, the club was renamed as 'Fawkner' but kept the 'Azzurri' nickname and relocated to CB Smith Reserve in Fawkner.
