Corporate & Ownership


Melbourne Victory Football Club has been & is currently owned by unlisted public company 'Melbourne Victory Ltd', since its inception. Ownership of the holding company consists of many minor shareholders from the city of Melbourne, with shareholders consisting of Premier Fresh Australia chief executive Anthony Di Pietro,     owners of Metricon and U.S. Triestina the Biasin family,  and Miami based private investment firm 777 partners. Despite the diverse shareholding by local families from Melbourne to Venture Capitalists, the club is not a "for profit" business, and as such the shareholders have never taken a dividend.

Prior to the establishment of the A-League Men, the newly established club struggled to raise the initial $5 million equity capital to join the League in its first season, resulting in Football Australia contributing approximately $500,000 to secure the club's position in the league, with the eventual intention to sell it's stake. As a result, the federation took a ten per cent holding in the club in return, as well as having a representative on the Victory board. From humble beginnings, the club has become a commercial success, with the clubs value increasing from 19.2 million AUD in November 2014 to 40 million in 2018, with the most recent evaluation being 50 million AUD following the 2022 partial purhcase of the club by 777 Partners.

Sponsors
On 5 December 2005, South Korean electronics giant Samsung became the club's major sponsor in a two-year deal, giving Samsung logo placement on the front and the back of Victory's home and away kits. Prior to the 2006–07 season, KFC were announced as Victory's sleeve sponsor, with their logo appearing on the sleeve of Victory's home and away kits. On 28 January 2009, Samsung announced that they would not renew their sponsorship for the 2009–10 A-League season. Intralot became the Melbourne Victory's new major sponsor when they signed a two-season $2 million contract on 4 May 2009. Their logo subsequently featured on the front of Melbourne Victory's playing strip, starting from the 2009–10 season. On 6 August 2010, it was announced that law firm Florin Burhala Lawyers would be Melbourne Victory's official shorts sponsor for the 2010–11 season. On 1 June 2011, it was announced that human resources company Adecco Group signed a three-year deal as the club's major sponsor, replacing Intralot. As part of the deal, Adecco's logo appeared on the front of the club's playing strip. Melbourne Victory announced on 16 June 2011 that they had signed a five-year deal with global sportswear giant Adidas as the club's official kit manufacturer.

=1921 (was 1920)=

The 1920 Victorian soccer season was the ninth competitive season of soccer in the Australian state of Victoria, under association with the governing body of Football Victoria. Only two conferences of the 'Victorian Division 1' were contested, which as of 2021 season is recognized as the NPL. The calendar season saw the ninth installment of the Dockerty Cup, but in the first time in its history the competition was abandoned shorty before the grand final,\ in which Albert Park was to verse Northumberland and Durham United.

Overview
Following the 1919 season, Football Victoria and its clubs were still recovering from the effects of World War I. Division 1 grew from eight teams to twelve, with the return of Burns and St Kilda, along with the debuts of newly established clubs of Melbourne Welsh and Osborne House. As a result of twelve teams confirming their commitment for the season, the league was split into two conferences with a final series determining the champions. The series consisted of the premiers and runner's up of the two conferences, with Northumberland and Durham United defeating St Kilda 2–0 in the grand final, being the first occasion in which a runner up team were to be crowned champions. This feat would be one of three first time occasions in the history of the league. The other two occasions consisted of the fact that a team finished undefeated but would not become premiers, with Osborne House playing less than half of the season, but won all four of its matches. The third first time occasion was Windsor becoming the first team to have a point deduction. Mathematically, Windsor would have been Conference B premiers but were penalized four points which resulted them in finishing third. The reason for their penalty is unknown.

Division 1A
The below ladder is arithmetically incorrect, however Football Victoria currently recognizes St Kilda as the premiership team.

Division 1B

=Fitzroy SC=

Fitzroy Soccer Club was an Australian association football (soccer) club based in the inner-northern Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. The club was founded in 1966 by the local Italian community and competed in the modern day Victorian state league system. In its eighty-year existance the club achieved three league premierships, and was nicknamed the 'Azzurri' after the Italy national football team. In its last season in 1973, the club relocated to the outer northern suburb of Fawkner and was renamed as 'Fawkner Soccer Club' before dissolving at the season's conclusion, but had no connection to the present Fawkner Soccer Club

History
The club was initially known as 'Fitzroy', assumably being named after the relevant inner north-eastern suburb where many European immigrants settled in Melbourne following the second world war. Throughout its entire existence, the kit colours consisted of a blue jersey, white shorts, and blue socks. Whilst playing under the name of 'Fitzroy', the club's home matches were played on the soccer ovals of Royal Park in the nearby suburb of Parkville. In it's final season in 1973, the club was renamed as 'Fawkner' but kept the 'Azzurri' nickname and relocated to CB Smith Reserve in Fawkner.

The club achieved three premierships throughout its eight year existence. In the 1967 and 1972 seasons, the club were premiers of the modern day Victorian State League 4 being respectively know as the District League (northern conference) and Provisional League (division B) at the time. The club's highest league achievement was the District Premier League premiership in 1971, being of the modern day Victorian State League 3.
