About Wests APIA

ABOUT US: Wests APIA FC

In 1954, Italian migrants in Sydney’s inner west founded the Associazione Polisportiva Italo-Australiana, a club to belong to in a new country. Seventy-two years on, APIA remains one of the most historic, decorated and renowned football clubs in Australia. 

Wests APIA FC is our club in the Australian Championship, now joined by our proud long-serving partners at Wests Ashfield. Two iconic inner west organisations, one badge, and the same granatazzuri colours we've bled since 1954.

National football is coming home

Last season more than 10,000 of you came through the gates as we reached the quarter-finals. This season we’re coming back to our famous original home. For the first time since the early 1990s, national senior men’s football is back at Lambert Park.

"When we had two or three thousand spectators at Lambert Park it was like having 20,000.” - Rale Rasic.

Let’s prove him right.

Three home games. Be at all of them.

• Sunday 1 November, 3pm: Wests APIA v Avondale FC
• Saturday 7 November, 3pm: Wests APIA v Broadmeadow Magic
• Thursday 12 November, 7:30pm: Wests APIA v Adelaide City, under the lights 

A membership is how you tell the club you’re in. Maybe your family has followed APIA since the Wentworth Park days, grew up with the Leichhardt Tigers, or only moved in around the corner last year. Whichever way, there’s a place for you at Lambert Park on Marion Street. Bring your nonno, your kids, your housemates, and someone who’s never been.

Whatever APIA means to you, Wests APIA is for us all.
