History
South Springvale was founded in 1968 by Greek immigrants who migrated to Australia in the early to mid-1960s. The club was initially called Sandown Dynamo and played at Springvale High Schools’ facilities.[1] During the next 12 years, Sandown Dynamo competed in the Victorian Amateur Leagues, but rose quickly in the 1980s and 1990s, entering the Victorian Provisional Leagues in 1985, and gaining promotion to the Victorian State Leagues in 1992, reaching Victorian State League Division 2 by 2000.[2]
In 1980 the club shifted to Warner Reserve whilst also changing its name to South Springvale Soccer Club. Over the next two decades the club endured many good years culminating in three championships, in 1990, 1991 and 1995,[2] whilst also claiming the State League Cup in 1994.[3][1] As of the 2014 season, the team is competing in the FFV State League 1 South East.[4]
In 2014, South Springvale defeated National Premier Leagues Victoria side Hume City in 3–0 in the 2014 Dockerty Cup Quarter-final to become the first Victorian club to qualify for the inaugural FFA Cup Round of 32, the first national round.[5][6] On 29 July, South Springvale defeated South Cardiff FC to advance to Round of 16 in the FFA Cup, in which it lost to Palm Beach Sharks away.
