Preston Lions FC

Preston Lions Football Club, nicknamed Makedonija (Macedonian: Македонија, pronounced [makɛˈdɔnija]), is a semi-professional soccer club based in the suburb of Reservoir in Melbourne, Victoria. 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 B.T. Connor Reserve.

Founded by Macedonian Australians in 1947 as Preston Makedonia SC, the club joined Football Victoria in 1959. Makedonia yo-yoed throughout the 1960s and 70s, before finding stability in the first division and winning their first Victorian title in 1980. It subsequently moved to the National Soccer League, where it played thirteen seasons, though failed to win any honours. Financial difficulties forced a return to the Victorian leagues in 1993, adopting its current name shortly afterward. The men's team's current tenure in the first division came after promotion in 2024, while its women's team won promotion to the first division in 2022.

The Preston Lions have won four Victorian men's titles and one Dockerty Cup. The club's best performances in the Australia Cup are sixth round appearances in 2015 and 2024. Its supporter groups include the Preston Boys, PME47, and the Preston Makedonia Ultras. Notable former players for the club include men's national team players Žarko Odžakov, Sasa Ognenovski, and Warren Spink.
