About Coburg Lions Junior Football Club
Origins and Founding
The Coburg Lions Junior Football Club is the junior football arm of the Coburg Football Club, one of Melbourne's oldest and most storied community football clubs. The senior club was founded in 1891 and joined the Victorian Football Association (VFA) as a senior club in 1925, going on to win three consecutive VFA premierships in 1926, 1927, and 1928. The junior program developed from this long-established base, giving young footballers across the Coburg and Moreland region a direct pathway into one of Victoria's most respected football environments.

Club History
The Coburg Lions Junior Football Club competes in the Essendon District Football League (EDFL) junior competition, fielding teams from Under 8s through to Under 16s. The senior Coburg Football Club - nicknamed the Lions - has a decorated history in Victorian football, having won six VFA/VFL premierships in total (1926, 1927, 1928, 1979, 1988, and 1989). The club also competed as the Coburg-Fitzroy Lions in 1999 and 2000, and under a Richmond Football Club alignment as the Coburg Tigers from 2001 to 2013, before returning to the Lions name in 2014. According to Wikipedia, the club holds numerous other records across reserve and thirds grade competitions spanning more than a century.
The club has produced several AFL-listed players over its history. Notable alumni include Phil Cleary (club legend, premiership coach, and later Victorian politician), along with players who have represented the club in the VFL into the modern era. The club also fields a FIDA Football League team for players with intellectual disabilities, reflecting a broader commitment to inclusive football across the community.

Home Ground
The Coburg Lions Junior Football Club plays home games at Barry Plant Park - also known as Coburg City Oval - located at the corner of Harding Street and Russell Street in Coburg. The senior club has made Coburg City Oval its home since 1915. The ground has a capacity of 15,000 and once recorded an attendance of 21,695. In March 2025, the ground was officially renamed Barry Plant Park after the club signed a five-year naming rights deal with Barry Plant Coburg/Brunswick. The ground underwent a major redevelopment between early 2020 and May 2021, with upgrades to the grandstand, club offices, facilities, and ground drainage.

Community and Programs
The Coburg Football Club is deeply embedded in the Merri-bek community and has built a reputation as a leader in inclusive and community-focused football. The club runs an annual NAIDOC Week game celebrating its connections with Indigenous communities, and hosts the Vicky Cleary Game - an annual domestic violence awareness event dedicated to the late sister of club legend Phil Cleary. Junior players competing in the EDFL have a clear pathway to the VFL senior program, making the junior club a vital development hub for young players in Melbourne's north. The club also has a FIDA Football League team competing in division-level football for players with intellectual disabilities.
