'''Port Melbourne SC''' is an Australian [[Association football|soccer]] club based in [[Port Melbourne]], a suburb of [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]]. The club was formed in 1968 by local [[Greek Australian]]s, and was promoted over the years to the [[Victorian Premier League]] in 1994. It spent the years 1994–2003 in the Victorian Premier League, winning the minor premiership twice, but was unable to secure the title during its time in the VPL. The club currently competes in the  [[National Premier Leagues Victoria]].

==History==
The club was formed in 1968 by local [[Greek Australian]]s. The club spent the majority of its early years in the lower Divisions of Victorian football. From 1973  to 1989, the club competed between Victorian League Division 2 and 3. The club was promoted to Victorian League Division 1 for the first time in 1989, but were relegated back to Division 2 in 1991.

The club then achieved successive promotions in 1992 and 1993 to take Port Melbourne to the [[Victorian Premier League]] for the first time in its history in 1994. The club managed to make the finals in its first season in the competition and went all the way to the grand final after wins against [[Sunshine George Cross]] and [[Bulleen Lions]], but lost the final to [[Preston Lions FC]]. The following year, Port were minor premiers in the VPL for the first time in their history, but successive losses in the finals series meant the season finished on a disappointing note. Port Melbourne made an application to join the [[National Soccer League|NSL]] ahead of the [[1995–96 National Soccer League|1995/96 season]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-GeBc7j6xA6aDRjMVBpNWUzWTQ/view?pref=2&pli=1&usp=embed_facebook|title=Australian Soccer Federation News, May 1995 (Volume 1, number 1).pdf|website=Google Docs|access-date=30 May 2018}}</ref> however this move was not approved and the club remained in the Victorian system. The club were minor premiers again in 2001, but once more lost the grand final, this time to [[Heidelberg United FC]].

The Sharks were relegated to [[Victorian State League Division 1]] at the end of 2003 season and then again to [[Victorian State League Division 2]] after season 2007. After spending two-years in State 2 South East, the FFV unilaterally decided to place them in Division 2 North West in Season 2010. Eric Vassiliadis was appointed as player-manager and the club was promoted as Champions having lost only one match and having only conceded seven goals all season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/2010SD2NWT.html|title = 2010 Victorian State League Division Two North-West - Final Table}}</ref>

In season 2011 the club lead the league for 21 rounds but failed to gain promotion in the last game of the season where they lost to [[Pascoe Vale SC|Pascoe Vale]] and thus ensured season 2012 will again be played in State League 1. They backed it up in 2012 with an outstanding season, finishing runners up in the [[Dockerty Cup|State Knockout Cup]] and went on and secured promotion to the Victorian Premier League for 2013.<ref name="footballfedvic">{{cite web|url=http://www.footballfedvic.com.au/index.php?id=17&tx_ttnews%255Byear%255D=2012&tx_ttnews%255Bmonth%255D=09&tx_ttnews%255Btt_news%255D=788&cHash=1f516bc624046d18e6360fdc5039a781 |title=Football Federation Victoria {{!}} FFV {{!}} Port Melbourne and Pascoe Vale promoted |publisher=footballfedvic.com.au|access-date=2015-11-30}}</ref> During the 2012 season, Vassiliadis retired from playing but continued in his role as Manager at the club.

In their first season back in the Victorian top-flight, the Sharks would have qualified for the finals had the league not been compromised by the [[Southern Stars FC]] scandal<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cornerflag.com.au/southern-stars-results-voided/|title=Southern Stars results voided – The Corner Flag|website=www.cornerflag.com.au|access-date=30 May 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://southmelbournefc.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/the-good-kind-of-anti-climax-port.html|title=South of the Border – a South Melbourne Hellas blog: The Good Kind of Anti-Climax – Port Melbourne 0 South Melbourne 4|last=Paul|date=23 September 2013|website=southmelbournefc.blogspot.com.au|access-date=30 May 2018}}</ref> and the club ended 2013 with a 6th-place finish.

In 2014, the first year of the [[National Premier Leagues]] system, Port Melbourne were seconds away from relegation until a 95th-minute goal from Conor Reddan in the final game of the season secured a draw against [[Werribee City FC|Werribee City]], safety for the club and an 11th-place finish.<ref name="foxsportspulse">{{cite web|url=http://www.foxsportspulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?client=0-10178-0-0-0&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=31465167|title=Sharks, Werribee survive in heartstopper&nbsp;– FFV&nbsp;– NPL&nbsp;– FOX SPORTS PULSE|publisher=foxsportspulse.com|access-date=2015-11-30}}</ref>

In 2015, despite several high-profile signings like [[Alan Kearney]], [[Shaun Kelly]], [[Adrian Zahra]] and Alan Mulcahy, the Sharks could only manage an 8th-placed finish in the [[2015 National Premier Leagues]] and exited the [[2015 FFA Cup]] at the qualifying stages after a penalty loss to [[Avondale FC|Avondale]].<ref name="mfootball">{{cite web|url=http://www.mfootball.com.au/npl-season-review-port-melbourne/|title=NPL Season Review&nbsp;– Port Melbourne {{!}} MFootball|publisher=mfootball.com.au|access-date=2015-11-30}}</ref> There was success at the club on an individual level however, with [[Kamal Ibrahim (footballer)|Kamal Ibrahim]] winning the 2015 [[National Premier Leagues Victoria|NPL Victoria]] Gold Medal.<ref name="footballfedvic2">{{cite web|url=http://www.footballfedvic.com.au/ffv-gold-medal-night-2015-wrap/|title=FFV Gold Medal Night 2015 Wrap {{!}} Football Federation Victoria|publisher=footballfedvic.com.au|access-date=2015-11-30}}</ref>

The home of the Port Melbourne Sharks is the [[SS Anderson Reserve]], also known by the tag JL Murphy Reserve, located in [[Port Melbourne, Victoria]].

Over the years the club has developed and expanded its facilities into one of the best in the inner city.
