Our Journey and Achievements
Bendigo City was established as FC Bendigo in 2014, competing at NPL1 level. From 2015 to 2017, playing as Bendigo City FC, the Club fielded senior teams in NPL competitions with varying success.
Between 2018 and 2021, Bendigo City FC operated as a junior only club, fielding teams from Under 13 through to Under 18 level, laying important foundations for future growth.
In 2022, the Club proudly reintroduced Men’s and Reserves Under 23 teams, competing in Men’s State League 5.
The 2023 season marked a significant milestone when the Bendigo City FC Under 18 squad qualified for NPL1. This was the first team in the Club’s history to achieve such a high grading.
Celebrating 2025
The 2025 season was one of the most successful in our Club’s history and a true reflection of the growth of Bendigo City FC.
Our Men’s team achieved promotion while securing their place in Men’s State League 5. Our Senior Under 23 team was crowned champions, a fantastic achievement that highlighted the strength of our senior pathway.
In an outstanding first season in the Girls Community Premier League, our Girls program exceeded all expectations. Our Under 15 and Under 17 teams both won their respective championships, while our Under 13 team finished second, an exceptional result in the Club’s inaugural CPL season.
Looking Ahead to 2026
In 2026, Bendigo City FC continues to grow and evolve. The introduction of a senior women’s team, along with the launch of a boys and girls football academy, will complete our football program and provide the clear, connected pathways required for our players to thrive.
With teams representing Bendigo across the Men’s State League, Junior National Premier League, Metropolitan Melbourne League and Girls Community Premier League, alongside our ongoing SAP program, Bendigo City FC is entering an exciting new chapter.
This journey reflects our commitment to development, opportunity and excellence, and ensures a strong and sustainable future for football in our community.
