RT @SBSNews: South Melbourne Hellas have won the Australia Cup for the first time. The semi-professional club beat A-League side Melbourne…

RT @FootballAUS: A statement from Football Australia CEO Martin Kugeler on the Hahn Australia Cup Final.

South Melbourne FC can confirm that Sinisa Cohadzic has stepped down as Senior Head Coach ahead of the Australian Championship. Sinisa has made a significant contribution to South Melbourne both on and off the field over a number of years, playing an important role in one of the club’s most successful recent periods. His time as Senior Head Coach culminated in one of the greatest nights in South Melbourne’s history on Saturday, guiding Hellas to the Australia Cup title with a penalty shootout victory over Melbourne Victory in the final at AAMI Park. It was a triumph that meant far more than silverware. For generations of South Melbourne supporters, it marked a historic return to the biggest stage in Australian football and a moment of celebration for the entire Hellas community. Sinisa’s role in delivering that achievement will forever be part of our club’s story. FULL STATEMENT smfc.com.au/2026/10/12/sinis…

22 years ago, @smfc were a club on their knees. “The phones lines were cut, the club was dead” 1.5 million dollars in debt. Left out of Australia’s new era of football in the form of the A-League. The picture was bleak for the most successful club of the NSL era that had just come to a close. That would’ve been that for most clubs, let alone any hope of returning to a position of Australian footballing prominence. But those who cared kept Hellas from death’s door - and kept the flame flickering through 21 years of state football survival. Last night, those two decades of faith were rewarded in the best way possible. The NPL’s first Australia Cup champions in front of the biggest sporting crowd AAMI Park has ever seen. Standing of the shoulders of giants, slaying an A-League giant in Melbourne Victory. A true story of sporting resilience that gives a club home to names like Postecoglou, Trimboli and Boutsianis another crop of legends to remember forever. Is the next chapter waiting for them in the A-League? Time will tell.

South Melbourne have woken up 'Australia Cup kings' after pulling off a massive upset win over Melbourne Victory. And after a night of penalties, drama and history, the celebrations are only just getting started. #9News
