Tonight marks a historic moment in Australian football. Founded in 1959 by Greek immigrants, South Melbourne (the club where Ange Postecoglou made his name) are four-time national champions and one of Australia’s most historic clubs. When the A-League launched in 2005, South Melbourne were left out, while Melbourne Victory emerged as the city’s new top-flight club. 21 years later, the two sides meet competitively for the first time in a sold-out Australia Cup final, with 30,000 fans at AAMI Park. South Melbourne have the chance to become the first non-A-League club to win the Cup. A fascinating clash between Australian football’s past and present.
