APIA Leichhardt Football Club, also known simply as APIA (Associazione Poli-sportiva Italo Australiana), is a semi-professional soccer club based in the suburb of Leichhardt in Sydney, Australia. The club was formed in 1954 as APIA Leichhardt, by Italian Australians. APIA, winner of the national Australian championship of 1987, is currently a member of the NPL NSW. APIA Leichhardt are one of just three winners of the 1960s Australia Cup that are still active, the other being Caroline Springs George Cross FC and Hakoah Sydney City East FC.

History

File:Performance Chart NSL API.svg]]

The club was founded as the Associazione Poli-sportiva Italo Australiana ("APIA") in 1954 by members of the Italian-Australian community in Sydney's Inner West. After several years in the Canterbury District competition, the club joined the NSW Federation's state league.{{cite web | url=http://apiatigers.com/history.html | title=History | publisher=APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC | access-date=23 February 2015 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223061257/http://apiatigers.com/history.html | archive-date=23 February 2015}}

In the 1960s APIA became one of the foremost soccer clubs in Australia and won the Premiership of NSW of the years 1964, 1966, 1967 and 1975, which was the highest level of achievement in the absence of a national competition. Between 1966 and 1974 APIA also won three times the State Cup of NSW, then named after a sponsor Ampol Cup. The 1974 final was considered "one of the most incredible finals" of the history of the club when skipper Jimmy Rooney and centreforward Peter Ollerton, who scored five goals, won 9–1 against Auburn in front of a crowd of 5210 at Wentworth Park, the highest finals result ever.{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=GvtjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=p-UDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4637%2C4211927 | title=Soccer with everything... Apia win 9–1 | work=The Sydney Morning Herald | date=11 March 1974 | access-date=23 February 2015 | author=Mossop, Brian | via=Google News Archive}}

Rooney and Ollerton were also in the team that represented Australia a few months later in its first World Cup participation in Germany.

In 1979 APIA was given access to the National Soccer League, the top tier of Australian soccer since 1977. In 1987 APIA won the national championship, six points ahead of the Preston Makedonia Soccer Club from Melbourne, with then only two points awarded per win. The coach in that season was Rale Rasic. Charlie Yankos and Peter Katholos are probably the best known players from that side. The main cast of that year consisted of Tony Pezzano; Charlie Yankos, Arno Bertogna, Mark Brown, Jean-Paul de Marigny, Peter Tredinnick, Peter Katholos, Edward Lorens, Hilton Phillips, Gary Ward, Rod Brown and Tony Parison. In 1988 APIA won the National Soccer League Cup. By 1992 the APIA Leichhardt was overwhelmed by financial difficulties. The club was somewhat restructured and forthwith played on state level with the moniker "Tigers."{{cite news | url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&docID=news920416_0078_8966 | title=Liquidator takes over troubled Apia | work=The Sydney Morning Herald | date=16 April 1992 | access-date=23 February 2015 | author=Cockerill, Michael}}{{cite news | url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&docID=news920925_0132_6133 | title=Apia plan legal tilt for NSL re-entry | work=The Sydney Morning Herald | date=25 September 1992 | access-date=23 February 2015 | author=Cockerill, Michael}}{{cite news | url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article126963249? | title=Soccer World – Coaching clinic a must for youngsters | work=The Canberra Times | date=18 December 1992 | access-date=23 February 2015 | author=Cooke, Graham | via=Trove | quote=FORMER NATIONAL League giant Apia Leichhardt will resumeits interrupted career, reincarnated as the Leichhardt Tigers in the NSW Superleague.}}

In 2017, APIA won the National Premier Leagues NSW premiership, but lost the grand final to Manly United FC on penalties. APIA also made the grand final of the 2017 Waratah Cup, but lost 3–1 to Hakoah Sydney City East FC.

In 2018, APIA won the 2018 Waratah Cup.{{Cite web|url=https://www.theffacup.com.au/news/apia-clinch-cup-crown-nsw-ahead-ffa-cup-round-32|title=APIA clinch Cup crown in NSW ahead of FFA Cup Round of 32|website=FFA Cup|date=16 July 2018 |language=en|access-date=2018-08-22}} On 21 August 2018, APIA defeated reigning A-League champions Melbourne Victory FC in the Round of 16 of the 2018 FFA Cup, becoming the seventh state-league side to beat a top-tier team in the knockout tournament.{{Cite news|url=https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/sekiya-stars-as-apia-leichhardt-stun-victory-in-ffa-cup|title=Sekiya stars as APIA Leichhardt stun Victory in FFA Cup {{!}} The World Game|work=The World Game|access-date=2018-08-22|language=en-GB}} The result was billed as one of the biggest upsets in the tournament's history.{{Cite news|url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/football/ffa-cup-round-of-16-apia-leichhardt-pull-off-huge-upset-in-dumping-out-melbourne-victory/news-story/c79837591f2b449f1d3e913fed519d37|title=We didn't show up: Victory rue shock FFA Cup exit|work=NewsComAu|access-date=2018-08-22}}

APIA won the National Premier Leagues NSW Grand Final with a 2–1 victory over Sydney United in 2019.{{Cite web |last=NSW |first=Football |date=2019-08-31 |title=Championship finally comes home to APIA Leichhardt Tigers |url=https://mens.nplnsw.com.au/2019/09/01/championship-finally-comes-home-to-apia-leichhardt-tigers/ |access-date=2023-06-19 |website=NPL NSW Men's |language=en-AU}} This was the first final ever played at Bankwest Stadium.

When the Football Federation Australia repealed its controversial National Club Identification Policy, which effectively banned clubs from having ethnic identities APIA dropped the "Tigers" moniker and reverted to its original badge.[http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/historic-npl-club-apia-goes-back-to-its-roots-with-major-re-brand Historic NPL club APIA goes back to its roots with major re-brand], SBS, 2019-12-12

The club was announced on 20 November 2023, as one of the eight foundation teams for the National Second Division, due to start either March or April 2025. They will continue to play in the NPL NSW for the 2024 season, before transitioning to the new league.{{Cite web|url=https://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news/football-australia-announces-foundation-clubs-national-second-tier/|title=Football Australia announces foundation clubs for National Second Tier |website=Football Australia |date=2023-11-20}}

The 2024 season will go down as one of the most remarkable campaigns in recent memory, marked by an unprecedented offensive display and a prestigious title triumph. Scoring a staggering 118 goals, a record-breaking achievement, the team showcased relentless attacking prowess and thrilling football throughout the year.

The crowning glory of the season came in the Waratah Cup, where the team battled through tough opponents to lift the coveted trophy.

In the league, consistency and resilience saw the team secure a commendable third-place finish in a fiercely competitive competition.
