Western Eagles
Western Eagles is an Australian association football (soccer) club based in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. Formed in 1950 as KS Polonia by Polish Australians, the club was one of the powerhouses of Victorian and Australian soccer in the 1950s and 1960s, before making a brief revival in the 1980s. The club has since fallen to the lower reaches of the Victorian system, and currently participates in the Victorian Provisional League Division 2 N/W competition.
