Floreat Athena FC

In 1977, internal disputes at the committee level resulted in the sacking of coach Bill Dumbbell despite Athena claiming its first state league title.

[13] Athena maintained its status in the top flight until 1980 when the club was relegated for finishing tenth under coach Ulysses Kokkinos.

[14] After being relegated in 1980, the club secured its second First Division title in 1981 and returned to the top flight of Western Australia football (soccer).

From 1984 until 1991 Floreat Athena entered into a "golden era" of Western Australian Premier League football.

The Soccer Federation changed the format of the championship to be based on a top four finals series for the 1989, 1990 and 1991 seasons.

In 1997, under coach Jim Pyraglios, the club won a record treble of titles winning the Night Series, League Championship and Association Cup.

In the newly formed Football West, Floreat Athena was competing for their fourth State Premier League title.

In 2004, a young squad was assembled under former Floreat Athena players Michael Roki and Taki Nicolaidis.

Athena signed former Perth Glory defender Ante Kovacevic who was to prove instrumental in the 2007 season.

In the 2007 Football West Premier League season, Athena clinched the title undefeated with a 15-point gap over second place.

The team finished the 2008 season without a title, having lost the Night Series final to arch rival Perth SC on penalties.

Following the 2010 Night Series, Michael Roki decided it was time to retire due to work and family commitments.

Floreat Athena was taken over by player-coach Ante Kovacevic for the beginning of the 2010 Football West Premier League season.

Coach Ante Kovacevic and assistant Taki Nicolaides assembled a fresh outfit that won the title in February 2011.

Floreat Athena finished the season at the top of their group, dispatching Armadale and Forrestdale 3–1, and drawing to Inglewood 2–2 with goals coming from Liam Boland, Garin Collins, James Isaia and Danny Trevisol.

Garin Collins then added a further two goals to make the score 4–1 and put Athena into another Night Series Grand Final.

Replacement goalkeeper Simon Madaschi took his place, making several saves in the remaining minutes to hold ECU at bay.

After giving up a 2-0 lead against Armadale SC on the final matchday of the season, it seemed Perth RedStar FC would overtake Floreat to clinch the league, but in the dying minutes of the game, Bayley Brown-Montgomery found the back of the net to make it 3-2 and win the league at the last minute.

A cycling tunnel had been left intact for players to use to and from the change rooms and was a feature of the ground, however due to neglect it has been deemed unsafe and is currently locked up.

[citation needed] Local Greek-Australian businesses contribute in the form of sponsorship on an annual basis.

Many affluent Greek-Australian families have donated to the club, helping Floreat Athena become a mainstay in top flight and junior football.
