Queensland Lions Football Club, known as Lions FC, is a soccer club based in Brisbane, Australia. Founded in 1957 as Hollandia Inala Soccer Club, the club currently competes in the National Premier Leagues Queensland.
History
The club was founded in 1957 as Hollandia-Inala Soccer Club by Dutch immigrants. From the start they were based at grounds in the Brisbane suburb of Darra and then moved to Pine Road, Richlands, where they play today. In the early 1970s, all clubs were required to abandon 'ethnic' names and they then adopted the name Brisbane Lions.
In 1977 the Lions were invited to play in the National Soccer League and played in the league as Brisbane Lions until the end of the 1988 season. Former Manchester United and Northern Ireland legend George Best made four appearances for the team during the 1983/84 season. Notable players around this time include, Bob Latchford (1981, from Everton ), Col Bennet, Jim Hermiston, Ron Millman. From 1989 the Brisbane Lions played in the Brisbane Premier League. After coming to an agreement with the newly formed Brisbane Lions AFL club, they changed their name to the current Queensland Lions.
In 2004 it was announced that the Lions had won the right to compete in the newly formed A-League. Operating as Queensland Roar the club was once again represented in an Australian national league.
Re-formation
Subsequent changes to the ownership structure of the Roar allowed the Queensland Lions to re-enter the Brisbane competition in Premier Division 1 in 2008.
In 2012, Lions FC was accepted into the inaugural 2013 Brisbane Premier League, the top local competition in the Brisbane region. In 2016, the club went back-to-back claiming the premiership and Grand Final.
When the National Premier Leagues Queensland expanded in 2018, Lions FC were one of the clubs to join the competition. In its first season in the NPLQ, Lions won the league and grand final double. In 2019, the club followed it up with a back-to-back premiership, winning the league with 2 games to spare. However, in the finals series, Lions went down 2–1 to Olympic FC in the semi-final.
Fondata nel 1980, la squadra ha lasciato un segno indelebile nel panorama calcistico australiano. Con numerosi campionati statali vinti e presenze in grandi tornei, i Lions hanno guadagnato una reputazione come squadra competitiva e ambiziosa.
La filosofia del club è basata sulla dedizione alla crescita dei giocatori e allo sviluppo di un ambiente di supporto che incoraggi il raggiungimento del massimo potenziale. I Lions si sforzano di offrire un percorso per giovani calciatori promettenti, fornendo le risorse e la guida necessarie per raggiungere obiettivi ambiziosi.
Il club è guidato da un team esperto di allenatori e dirigenti appassionati, che trasmettono la loro conoscenza e il loro amore per lo sport ai giocatori. I Lions sono noti per il loro stile di gioco dinamico e creativo, che entusiasma i tifosi e spesso risulta decisivo nelle partite importanti.
Oltre al loro successo sul campo, i Lions sono anche attivi nella comunità, organizzando eventi e programmi per promuovere lo sport e i valori positivi tra i giovani. La loro influenza va oltre il calcio, ispirando le future generazioni a seguire le proprie passioni e raggiungere i propri sogni.
Il futuro dei Lions FC è luminoso, con un gruppo di giovani talenti che stanno emergendo e che promettono di portare il club a ulteriori successi. I tifosi sono entusiasti delle possibilità che attendono la squadra e non vedono l'ora di sostenerli in ogni partita.
