Collegians Football Club, nicknamed the Lions, is an Australian rules football club based in the Melbourne suburb of Albert Park.
Formed in 1892, it is the second-oldest club in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA), after Melbourne University Football Club, although Collegians is the only present-day club that competed in the inaugural VAFA season.[1]
As of 2024, the club's men's and women's teams both compete in the Premier Division of the VAFA and VAFA Women's (VAFAW) respectively.
