2002: Laying the Foundations

Hobart United FC emerged from the Tasmanian African community. It was late in 2002 when Jacky Kuel, Patrick Ochaya, Fawaz Ateem, and Awak Mario-Ring formed the first team. At this time a healthy debate emerged over the name and direction of the club. Patrick, the club's first President, felt that the new club should embrace multiculturalism to strengthen the ties between Africa and Australia. He proposed naming the club Hobart United. Patrick became the club's first president. The club gained several sponsors including the Migrant Resource Centre. The club made its debut in Division Two in February 2003. The squad consisted of 18 players. A 4–4–2 formation was introduced and eventually the team began to gel into a real club and results came our way.
