Club History

Previously known as the Nineveh Eagles

The Fairfield Bulls Soccer Club were founded in 1971 by Assyrian migrants in Sydney looking to establish a sporting club.

Initially, the club went under the moniker of Bonnyrigg Eagles and played in the Southern Districts Football Association until the club entered the NSW Soccer Federation Division 2 where they possessed a first grade, reserve grade and under 18 squad.

At the end of 1981 the name of the club was changed to “Nineveh Eagles”, named after the ancient capital of Assyria. The club played out of the Nineveh Soccer Stadium, which holds a capacity of approximately 1000 spectators and is located behind Nineveh Club.

After the 1992 season, the club changed its name to “Fairfield Bulls SC” and continued playing in the NSW 2nd division where they eventually got promoted to the NSW 1st division. From there, Bulls spent three years in the 1st division before winning the title in 1998 to finally be promoted to the Super League. The club reached its pinnacle in 2002 when it was promoted to the NSW Premier League, enjoying two seasons in the league before being relegated.
