Fitzroy Stars Football Club (FSFC)
The FSFC is based in the Aboriginal community in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. The club was formed in the early 1970’s. The FSFC became an integral part of the way people spent their weekends, giving families a place where they could participate in sport. The occasion became an important weekly meeting place.
The mission of the Fitzroy Stars Football Club is not just about football. The club’s mission is to:

Nurture a culture that promotes a healthy lifestyle.
Promote fitness, nutrition, diet, self-esteem.
Offer pathways to employment and education.
Foster reconciliation by building strong bridges between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities.

For more information, call Irene Morris, Fitzroy Stars Football Club, on Tel. 9489 3211 or 0400 126 167.
