History
Established in 1975 by Macedonian immigrants to the area, the club went by the name Central Altona Social and Soccer Club and played out of Gray Reserve, Williamstown. The Macedonians (Македонци transliterated Makedonci) also referred to as Macedonian Slavs --> --> are a South Slavic people Williamstown ( is one of the oldest suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. In 1978, with the desire to move out of the Provisional Leagues, Central Altona merged with First Division strugglers Keilor City, to compete under the name of Altona Gate Soccer Club. The following year they moved to a newly-completed ground at Paisley Park, Altona North, an acquisition they successfully lobbied the local council for, complementing their burgeoning membership base. It remains their home to this day.
The growth of Altona Gate saw them reach State League Division 1 in 1988, and in 1989 they were runners up in the Dockerty Cup. The Dockerty Cup is a Football (soccer competition held between clubs in Victoria Australia. Altona's biggest triumphs were their three consecutive Premier League titles in 1995, 1996 and 1997, a period of dominance they have been unable to replicate since. Around this time the club was renamed Altona Magic Soccer Club.
In 2004 Altona lost the VPL Grand Final to Bulleen Zebras on penalties, and also lost to South Melbourne 1-0 in the 2006 Grand Final. Whittlesea Zebras are an Australian Football (soccer club based in Epping, Melbourne. This page relates to the association football club known as South Melbourne FC
