The Keilor Park Soccer Club was originally established in 1957, at the Blue Cellar Restaurant in Fitzroy from where the club’s administration was conducted until 1961. The club originally appointed two club administrators to organise the formation and structure of the club and election of the first Committee. According to club records, the first official game of soccer was played in 1958.
Keilor's first home ground was at Royal Park, behind the current Royal Children’s Hospital. The Club then moved on a number of occasions from Royal Park to Elwood, Footscray, Maribyrnong and finally to today's home ground at Keilor Park Reserve. In the mid to late sixties, the first ideas about locating the Club to Keilor were formed. It was a hard and painstaking process which brought the club into severe difficulties. The club was allocated some land at Keilor Park Reserve in 1974 and held its first working bee in 1975. The first official training night was held at Keilor Park on the 3rd February 1976 with the first home game against Doveton on the 3rd July of the same year. The Club remains based at Keilor Park Recreational Reserve. [2]
