Kingston City Football Club is an Australian soccer club from Clayton South, Victoria, a suburb within the local government area of Kingston. Kingston currently play in the NPL.
The club was established in 1974 in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Clarinda by members of the local Greek Australian community. Originally called Liverpool Soccer Club, the club was renamed Clarinda Soccer Club the following year (1975). Playing many of its home games on the grounds of Clayton Technical School in Clayton, Victoria, the club spent most of its early years competing in the lower divisions of the Victorian District Leagues. In 1982 the club moved to its current home ground The Grange in the neighbouring suburb of Clayton South, Victoria, and in 1998 was renamed Kingston City Soccer Club. The name change was made to reflect the amalgamation of local city councils and the restructuring of city borders, but also to broaden the club's appeal amongst the non-Greek population in the local area.
On 3 September 2016, Kingston City achieved promotion from NPL Victoria 2 to NPL Victoria. Needing to avoid defeat on the final matchday of the regular season, Damian Iaconis scored a 94th-minute equaliser to achieve automatic promotion into the top flight of Victorian football for Kingston. In the 2016 NPL2 Grand Final, Kingston City came back from 2–0 down to win 3–2, with Slaven Vranesevic scoring two near identical free kicks. and Kingston were crowned NPL Victoria 2 Champions.
