Brisbane Force Football Club is a football (soccer) club located in the Australian city of Brisbane, Queensland.
History
It was formed as a junior team by a group of disgruntled Queensland Lions members, mostly British immigrants, and was originally known as Inala City Soccer Club. They adopted the colours of Crystal Palace F.C. (maroon, sky-blue and white) and played their first year at the Darra Soccer Club fields. A bond of friendship was formed between the two clubs. In 1973, the club was offered their own fields at Freeman Road.
In 1979, it expanded to form a seniors club, absorbing some of its own juniors who had progressed. They were led by Matt Jackson to a grand final win and a Qantas Cup victory. They continued to achieve well through the early to mid-1980s and the grounds were improved. In 1987, Prime Minister Bob Hawke opened the new clubhouse extension, which allowed the club to host many social functions.
In the early 1990s, the club was promoted to the XXXX League, but was not ready and was demoted the same year. Thereafter, it floated between Division 1 and Division 2.
As with many clubs at this time, their membership and volunteer numbers declined somewhat. The club attracted a new management and coaching team in 2003, changed its name to Brisbane Force Soccer Club and started a rebuilding program. In 2005 they merged with Darra United and won promotion to Division 1, winning the Division 1 Major Premiership (grand final) in 2007 against Beenleigh FC 2-0.
