Fitzroy Lions Soccer Club
A CLUB BUILTBY ITS OWNCOMMUNITY.
A community-focused soccer club founded by Abdulmalik Abdurahman so young people who can't afford club fees still get to play, belong and aim high.
Fitzroy Lions Soccer Club (FLSC) is a community-focused soccer club that uses soccer to engage families and young people, build positive social connections and strive for greatness.
FLSC came about through the personal experience of its founder, Abdulmalik Abdurahman — a young African man who desperately wanted to engage in sport and connect with his local community. It began as a purely social program, but the young people involved were aspirational and needed greater structure to develop and build a pathway for themselves.
Today the Lions are a vehicle for young people to unite, connect and compete — with the wider community right behind them.
