Tuggeranong United is one of the largest football clubs in Canberra with an extensive elite NPL pathway from U13s to first team for both men and women.
However, the club lost the Championship Grand Final to the ‘Country’ conference winners West Woden Juventus 0–3.
[1] Between 1989 and 1995 the newly united club from Canberra's deep south experienced a period of great success both on and off the pitch.
United has sustained a registration level of around 800 players throughout the club while numbers have begun growing once more since 2010 with the boom in the sport.
[10] With rival clubs backing, the appeal was successful at a Capital Football board meeting on 18 February 2014 and federation put Tuggeranong forward as the ACT representative on the proviso of finding a more suitable venue to host matches given Kambah 2 has only basic amenities and inadequate lighting.
Tuggies goalkeeper, Rohan Shepherd, made a crucial save in the shoot-out to hand United a 5–4 penalty win and a historic victory.
[15][16] The match was broadcast online by volunteers of the South Hobart club with the commentary team of Callan Paske, Damian Gill and Trent ‘Corndog’ Cornish coining one of the first bits of FFA Cup folklore with their calling of yellow cards as "a slice of cheese".
South Hobart president, Victoria Morton, praised the live stream which she suggested reached 18,000 – 20,000 people.
The draw also enabled the opportunity for an emotional homecoming for former Tuggeranong United junior and Socceroo midfielder Carl Valeri.
[19] In the lead-up to the Tuesday fixture, Tuggeranong United's players put their day jobs on hold and went into camp at the Alpha Hotel to prepare for the match at Viking Park against the Victory.
[20] 16 September 2014, Viking Park hosted its first Association football match between Tuggeranong United and Melbourne Victory in the 2014 FFA Cup round of 16.
