Kensington City Soccer Club was established in 1987 by a passionate group of people from the Republic of El Salvador that settled in the community of Kensington. Funding from the City of Melbourne has ensured that players now compete on a new synthetic pitch. This is one of Australia's first synthetic sports fields that complies with international standards for soccer. The Bill Vanina Pavilion is home to the Club and its purpose-built changerooms and storage facilities further supports our players. The pavilion also provides a function room that caters for our members, supporters and residents of the Kensington community. Kensington City Soccer Club is an inclusive, family-oriented club that is supportive, encourages and promotes good sportsmanship, has an emphasis on the health and fitness of its players as well as a high level of social involvement and community engagement. In 2018, the Club's inaugural Women's team was formed and competed in the VicSoccer League competition. The team finished the season in third position. In 2019, the team competed in the Football Victoria State League competition, completing the season as runner's up. The global pandemic halted our efforts in 2020 and throughout 2021. This year, the Club has two teams entered into Football Victoria's State League 4 East and State League 5 East. As the Club has made such rapid progress in a very short period of time, many are talking about our teams being crowned champions in 2022 although, this is something that we will have to wait and see as the new season unfolds!
