History
A volunteer club, MUSC was founded Wednesday, 9 July 1947 by students of the University of Melbourne. It has now grown to be one of Victoria's largest senior soccer clubs. Originally founded by University of Melbourne students, the club has a long history rooted in university culture and student participation.

Facilities
MUSC is based at Princes Park, Carlton, offering state-of-the-art facilities for training and matches. This location serves as the home ground for the club's most competitive teams as well as recreational squads.

Women's team & Community Involvement
A women's team was formed 1982, one of the first women's soccer teams in Australia. As a result, MUSC grew in popularity with women players.

"'I later learned that the club was having to consider turning away players, such was the desire for women at university to play soccer.'"

MUSC's initiatives extend to various community services and charity events, promoting inclusivity and diversity within the sport. One example is the All Gender Games (AGG).

Competitive Results
The club facilitates intervarsity teams, for both the Southern University Games and Australian University Games.

MUSC has received several competitive trophies, including gold medals at the Australian University Games in 2009 and 2015.

The club has also participated in several international invitational competitions, such as the World Elite University Football Tournament since 2016.
