The Hall of Fame is open to players, coaches, administrators, fans and volunteers. Players, coaches and administrators become eligible for induction upon their retirement or departure from the club. Years of service and total games played or coached are considerations, but not necessarily determinative in deciding who is selected. Selections are made by the Sydney FC board.

Australia internationals Alex Wilkinson and Teresa Polias are the most recent representatives of the club to be inducted.
