History

Football South Coast (FSC) was established in 2008 as a unification of all soccer associations and governing bodies in the area. This was the result of Football NSW desire to organise and manage all regions within its borders effectively. The merger involved five key associations: Illawarra Football Association (IFA), Illawarra Junior Football Association (IJFA), Illawarra Amateur Football Association (IAFA), Illawarra Women's Football Association (IWFA), and the Referee's Association. These bodies have been dissolved to make way for FSC. The Wollongong Wolves and Illawarra Stingrays are separate clubs which participate in State League competitions run by Football NSW.
