St Albans Saints Soccer Club is an Australian football (soccer) club from St Albans, Australia (a suburb of Melbourne) established by Croatian immigrants to the area. The team was formed as Dinamo in 1975. In 1982,the club took over the existing club, St Albans which was of a German background. It was in this deal that the club gained it's playing pitch and embarked upon building a social club / hall which holds 400 patrons. In 1998 the club was runner up to Bulleen Inter Kings in the Victorian Premier League. Former president Ivica Dolic took over the reins of the club in 2003. He built the club back up, and put it onto its feet again, most notably in renovating the old clubrooms and putting a competitive side out onto the park. In 2005, St Albans dropped out of the Victorian top flight for the first time since 1983. St Albans draws it's fans base from the local Croatian community in St Albans, but also from Sunshine, Keilor, Taylors Lakes and Sydenham. The club is a regular participant in the Australian-Croatian Soccer Tournament which it has won no less than 9 times since 1974, the most for any other club in Australia.
