Brisbane Roar FC is a professional football club, representing the Australian A-League. The club plays its home games at the Suncorp Stadium, which can house more than 52,000 football lovers. The Roar’s main kit color is orange.
The team was founded in 1957 in Brisbane, Queensland, by Dutch immigrants and was first called FC Hollandia Inala. In 1970s it was renamed to FC Brisbane Lions and represented the Australian National Soccer League, being later relegated to the Brisbane regional league. In 1990s the team once again changed its name, this time to Queensland Lions, as a Brisbane Lions brand had been already occupied by the AFL team, representing the same city.
The main principle of the A-League is the participation of the Australian biggest cities’ clubs. In 2004 more than twenty different Brisbane clubs applied to represent Brisbane in the league, but it was the Lions, which was selected to represent the Queensland capital in the competition. At the beginning of the 2009/2010 season the club got its current name FC Brisbane Roar.
The club lifted its first trophy in 2011 beating FC Central Coast Mariners at the grand final of the A-League Final series. The Roar first went down 0-2, but managed to level the game by the end of 90 minutes and was the more successful team during the penalty shootouts, emerging victorious at the end. The next season Brisbane Roar managed to defend their crown and won their second consecutive A-League title.
