History
White City was established by the Serbian Australian community in Liverpool area of south-west Sydney. From their inception in 1982 through until 1992 White City's home ground was Amalfi in Liverpool. In 1992 The club moved to Cabramatta to Chisholm Park. From 2004 onwards White City's home ground has been the Calabria Sportsground in Prairiewood. White City have since returned to Chisholm Park.
White City's best years were during the 1990's where the club gained promotion from NSW 3rd Division to the NSW 1st Division. The club played in front of crowds up to 3,000 people and averaged 500 during this era. Many of the players during these years were ex-NSL, Australian Schoolboys and NSW Institute of Sport players. Players such as Vladan Radic (ex-Sydney Olympics and ex-Avala Bonnyrigg White Eagles) and Sasha Poljak (ex Polonia, Avala, Dianella WE) were the backbone of defence, and Radovan Filipović (ex-Australian futsal captain) lead the teams attacking line. This generation brought the club up through the state divisions, to the highest the club has ever played.
Since 2010 the club has competed in the Southern Districts Football Association. Under the reigns of former White City player Atila Stibinger in 2011 the first grade team bounced back to win the Southern District Premier B League.[1]
