For the first time in its 66-year history, ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Football Club has reached the top tier of football in New South Wales, securing promotion to the National Premier Leagues (NPL) NSW Men’s competition for the 2026 season.

The milestone moment came in dramatic fashion, with Jordan Morfitis scoring a 90th-minute winner in the final match of the 2025 Football NSW League One Men’s season against the Northern Tigers. The 2–1 victory not only sealed promotion but also crowned ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼÇFC as 2025 League One Premiers.

It capped off a remarkable season defined by resilience and consistency. The men’s side strung together an extraordinary nine-game winning streak, suffered only five losses across the campaign, and finished with the best defensive record in the league, conceding the fewest goals of any team.

The victory extended their winning run to four matches, booking a well-earned spot in the finals and sending the team into the postseason in red-hot form.
