History
Upon the collapse of Oakleigh United FC after the 1996 season, several junior teams were left without a club. Monash City FC was formed in 1997 as a junior only club to provide an avenue for those players to continue their football development.
Over the next 19 years the club competed at the highest level of junior football in Melbourne fielding teams in what was then the Victorian Junior Super League. This culminated with the Monash City FC Under 15 team of 2011 winning the Victorian region of the Manchester United Premier Cup. Ultimately the team was defeated by Onehunga SC from NZ in the pacific region final.
At the completion of the 2015 season the club looked to merge with Waverley Wanderers FC in an attempt to add Seniors teams. Unfortunately the merger collapse. This resulted in the club deciding to enter their own senior teams into Victorian State League Division 5 in the 2016 season. They also competed for the first time in the Australian National Cup, 2016 FFA Cup, winning their first match against Chelsea FC.
