History

The club's origins are in the merging of two separate bids during the league's expansion process in 2018, United for Macarthur and South West Sydney FC.[3] The two entities joined forces on 20 August 2018 to create Macarthur South West United Football Club, which later that year was chosen by the FFA to join the league in the 2020–21 A-League season.[4] Club was founded by Chairman Gino Marra and football operations Director Sam Krslovic

On 15 May 2019, the club founded by Gino Marra & Sam Krslovic announced the club's name, logo and colours. They were officially unveiled at a gala held by the club at the Campbelltown Catholic Club.[5] The club was called Macarthur FC and nicknamed the Bulls. Also announced as their inaugural manager was Ante Milicic.[6]

On 15 January 2020, the club announced the signing of Tommy Oar, their first ever signing.[7]

On 18 February 2020, Lang Walker sold his 50% ownership stake in the club to a consortium of two local Sydney businessmen. Michael Gerace, who owns Sydney Trucks and Machinery, and Roy Mammone, a Sydney property developer, bought the 50% stake for an undisclosed fee in excess of $7 million. The other 50% is owned by Gino Marra Club Chairman and Sam Krslovic.[8]

On 30 December 2020, the club played its first ever match in the A-League, recording a 1–0 victory playing away to Western Sydney Wanderers.[9]

On 1 October 2022, Macarthur FC won the Australia Cup for the first time in their history, beating Sydney United 58 2–0 in the final. The game was played at Commbank Stadium in front of 16,461 fans.[10]

Colours and badge

The logo depicts a black and gold ochre bull which is contained in a crest where the inner border is black and the outer gold ochre with the club's name written in the aforementioned colours above the bull and three federation stars at the bottom. The bull makes reference to the region where a runaway herd of cattle was discovered in its past.[11] The federation stars symbolise the soccer community in Australia, the National Premier Leagues and the A-League. The logo features mainly black and white with the addition of gold ochre to highlight the Dharawal heritage of the area.[11]
