History

The Sydney Portugal Community Club was founded on 6 February 1965, a few years after the formation of the Football Club in 1961. Portuguese migrants created the “Clube Português de Sydney”, as it was originally known, in Paddington, in the heart of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. It was there that a small number of Portuguese immigrants began to plan the future of the club, which later became Rosebery.

The club moved to Fraser Park, which had previously been used by the Railway Institute, in the early 1990s. [3]
