==History==
Line 30 ⟶ 28:
In 1975, [[Yagoona Lions FC | Yagoona Macedonia]] was created by Macedonian immigrants in Yagoona and competed in their first domestic season and their first recorded game by the Bankstown Soccer Federation was against Padstow. As the years passed, so did the players and new faces began to emerge in the ever-growing Macedonian-Australian Sydney-based club.
 
By 1988, the original Bankstown club had become insolvent and there was no elite team in the local area for several years. A local businessman named George Jackson,consortium purchased [[Hakoah Sydney City East FC|Maccabi Hakoah's]] licence to participate in the New South Wales Division 2. George Jackson would later go down in history as the president of football New South Wales. Bankstown once again had a team in the NSW State League. The new club had strong support from the local Bankstown and wider Macedonian community in Sydney, and named itself "Sydney Macedonia". Sydney Macedonia finished 3rd in 1988.<ref>{{Cite web |last=ozfootball.net|title=1988 NSW State League Second Division First Grade Final Table|url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/NSW/1988/1988D2T.html|access-date=2023-08-03 |website=OzFootball |language=en-AU}}</ref>
