Avondale FC, nicknamed the Avengers, is a semi-professional soccer club based in the suburb of Parkville in Melbourne, Victoria, and owned by the Italian Community of Keilor Assoc (ICKA). Its senior men's and women's teams play in the National Premier Leagues Victoria and Victoria Women, both in the second tier of the Australian league system. It also competes in the Australian Championship as a foundation club. It plays its home games at the 2,500-capacity Avenger Park.
One of many Italian Australian soccer clubs in Victoria, it was founded in Keilor as Keilor ICKA in 1984, and inhabited Football Victoria's lower leagues throughout the next two decades. It rebranded as Avondale Heights SC following a move to Avondale Heights in 2000. From 2009 to 2014, the club rapidly ascended the Victorian league system, winning five promotions in six seasons to reach the first division, where it has remained since. The club adopted its current name in 2015, and moved to Parkville in 2018. Its women's team was founded in 2019, and won promotion to the first division in 2025.
Avondale have won one Victorian men's title, and one Dockerty Cup. Its best performance in the Australia Cup is a semi-final appearance in 2025.
