The Blacktown Spartans Football Club are a semi-professional association football club currently playing in the NSW Super League, the second tier of association football in New South Wales and the 3rd tier including the fully professional top tier, the A-League. They are based in Blacktown, New South Wales, located in the Greater Western Sydney area of Sydney, Australia.
The Blacktown Spartans were formed in 2002 in the effort to field elite Youth Squads. Permission was granted to form a semi-professional team, and were included into the NSW State League Division Two, the then Third Division. In 2006 they were promoted to the NSW State League Division One after finishing first. After the 2010 season, they were promoted to NSW Super League.
The 2010 season can seen as the most successful for the Spartans, especially in the 2010 Waratah Cup as they have progressed to the semi-finals of the competition, and have been dubbed 'The Giant Killers' having knocked out Rockdale City Suns in Round 3[1], Sydney United in the Round of 16,[2] and Granville Rage in the Quarter Finals[3] to book a spot in the Semi-Finals against New South Wales Premier League side Marconi Stallions.
In 2010 the Spartans Women were promoted from the NSW Super League to the NSW Premier League after finishing on top of the Club Championship with all 5 teams making the semi finals. The Under 12's and Under both won their respective Grand Finals.
