Brisbane Phoenix Football Club is a football (soccer) club located in the Australian city of Brisbane, Queensland.
The club was formed as a junior team by a group of disgruntled Brisbane Lions members, mostly British immigrants, and was originally known as Inala City Soccer Club. They adopted the colours of Crystal Palace F.C. (maroon, sky-blue and white) and played their first year at the fields of the Darra United Soccer Club. A bond of friendship was formed between the two clubs. In 1973, Inala City was offered their own fields at Freeman Road, Richlands. [1]
In 1979, Inala City expanded to form a senior club, absorbing some of its own juniors who had progressed. The club was placed in Brisbane's Division 3 and appears to have replaced the Inala Rangers club in this division. [2] In their first season, the senior club was led by Matt Jackson to a grand final win and a victory in the Qantas Cup, a cup competition for clubs outside the Brisbane League's top two divisions. They continued to achieve well through the early to mid-1980s and the grounds were improved. In 1987, Prime Minister Bob Hawke opened a new clubhouse extension, which allowed the club to host many social functions. [1]
In 1992 the club finished top of Division Two was promoted to the Brisbane Premier League for the 1993 season but struggled to compete at this level and was relegated the same year. [2] [3] Thereafter, it floated between Division 1 and Division 2. [1]
As with many clubs at this time, Inala City's membership and volunteer numbers declined somewhat. The club attracted a new management and coaching team in 2003, changed its name to Brisbane Force Soccer Club and started a rebuilding program. In 2005 they merged with Darra United. [1] Darra United had its own distinguished history, having won four league titles and three grand finals during the 30 seasons prior to the amalgamation. [2]
Brisbane Force won three grand finals in four seasons between 2004 and 2007, including a 2–0 win against Beenleigh in the 2007 Premier Division 1 grand final. [1] [2]
After a reorganisation of the competition structure by Football Brisbane, Brisbane Force was elevated to the Brisbane Premier League for the 2013 season. The club managed to finish 10th out of 12 clubs in its first season, [4] but finished in 11th place in 2014 and was relegated. [5] After failing to complete its fixtures in the 2015 Capital League 1 season, the club dropped to Capital League 2 for 2016, but managed to finish in 4th place and qualify for the final series. [2] [6]
On 3 March 2017 the club president announced at the Annual General Meeting held the night before that the club's name was changed to Brisbane Phoenix Football Club. [7]
On 7 December 2017 Brisbane Phoenix advised Football Brisbane that they will be withdrawing from all 2018 competitions, which includes both junior and senior competitions. [8]
