Western Eagles FC is an Australian soccer club based in the western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria. . The club's Foundation Meeting was held on 13 August 1950, at 93 Brighton Road, St.Kilda. Elected first club president was Wladyslaw Kowalik. The Meeting decided that the Club would be known as "Polonia Soccer Club". Polonia S.C. played its first match against J.U.S.T. and won the game 4:3. The club was lucky to secure during its early years Mr. Zdzislaw Zabuski's help as his knowledge of local conditions proved extremely useful. Polonia became 4th Division Champions in their first season of competition, in 1951. KS Polonia by Polish Australians, the club was one of the powerhouses of Victorian and Australian soccer in the 1950s and 1960s, before making a brief revival in the 1980s. The club has since fallen to the lower reaches of the Victorian system, and currently participates in the Victorian State League Division 3 North-West competition... ==Club foundation== With the conclusion of the Second World War, many Poles were unable to, or did not want to return to their homeland for various reasons and as such made the decision to emigrate to Australia and begin a new life for themselves and their families. They were ex-servicemen and women, displaced persons, etc. As Poles have done for countless generations, they began to form various organizations to uphold their old traditions and their identities, to elevate their homesickness, finding solace with their own kind in a strange and at times inhospitable new land. Sport has always been a major enjoyment to Poles and as such a Polish Soccer Club was inevitable. The foundation meeting was held on 13 August 1950 at 93 Brighton Road St Kilda. The Meeting was an initiative of Jacek Wyszogrodzki, Honorable Secretary of Polish Association in Victoria. The first committee was elected on 27 August 1950 and consisted of Wladyslaw Kowalik - President, Wiktor Kwiatkowski - Hon. Secretary, Franek Skowronski - Treasurer, Kazimierz Zielinski - Team Manager, Boleslaw Mlewski - Coach, Mieczyslaw Terlikowski - Team Manager. The meeting decided that the Club would be named Polonia Soccer Club. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western Eagles F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
