**Tell us about the OLSC…**
Our OLSC was formed in 2005 when a group of friends got together to put on a live screening of the Champions League final. The turnout was that good that we decided to make it a regular thing and from there, the Melbourne Liverpool Supporters Association was born.
**How special is it to have the supporters club where you are?**
Given our time difference and distance from Anfield, it's not always easy to get to games, so it's special to have a gathering place for everyone who wants to watch the games, even if it is in the middle of the night.
**It must give you a sense of community and connection to Liverpool and the club itself?**
The supporters and members feel connected to the club, whether it be people who live in Melbourne, from around Australia, or the many people who join us on holidays from around the world.
They feel that there is a connection having somewhere that fans gather to watch the games. The connection to the city is strong as we have a lot of expats from the Merseyside area frequent our venue.
**What is so special about supporting Liverpool for your members?**
Supporting Liverpool is special for everyone in different ways. For some this has been passed down by their parents, and it is a family bond. Supporting Liverpool FC in Melbourne is also special because it connects fans to a global football family while creating a strong local community built around passion, loyalty, and tradition. Whether it’s waking up early to watch matches, gathering with fellow fans at pubs across the city, or sharing unforgettable moments from famous European nights.
Melbourne supporters experience the club’s spirit together despite being thousands of kilometres from Anfield. The city’s love for sport and multicultural football culture make supporting Liverpool feel more than just following a team - it becomes part of your identity and community.
