Darebin United is a soccer club representing the City of Darebin based in Melbourne, Victoria.[1]

History

Founded in 1975 by Greek-Australian immigrants Darebin United are a football club based in Thornbury, Victoria.[2]

In 2005 the club was relocated from its original home-ground HLT Oulton Park by the local council who conducted major redevelopment works at the site.[3] Darebin United has since operated out of Mayer Park, located beside Northcote Golf Course.[4]

2010 saw a drastic restructure of the fledgling club with the appointment of a new committee. The changes led to improved performances on the field and steady management off it was highlighted by a period of rapid promotion up to the Victorian State League 3.[5]

In 2015 Darebin United celebrated its 40th anniversary with club members and local politicians.[6] However, that same year the club's tenancy at Mayer Park was threatened by council plans to build a $13 million netball centre at Mayer Park. The park was eventually voted to be excluded from consideration as a location for construction largely thanks to the efforts of residents' group 'Save Mayer Park.' [7] Darebin United worked with the residents' group to protect the park from development[8] and continued to support the residents' group in running their 2017 Open Air Cinema and Night Market at Mayer Park.[9]

Seven teams currently represent Darebin United, including a men's seniors, reserves, thirds, and fourths teams, a women's senior team and two junior teams.[10]
