Milan Clubs Australia Officially Formed as the World’s Largest Official AC Milan Fan Club Outside of Europe.
MELBOURNE, December 11th 2025 — Milan Clubs Australia offi cially formed with the development and agreement of a shared charter between Milan Club Adelaide (founded 2021), Milan Club Melbourne (founded 2017) and Milan Club Sydney (founded 2010).
The charter’s goal is to formalise the existing mutual understanding shared by each club and establish a set of rules for each club to move forward.
With 221 AIMC-registered members, members of the union clubs have the option to book tickets for AC Milan matches in Italy, receive discounts in the city of Milano and reciprocal membership rights across all hosted matches by Union clubs.
Milan Club Adelaide in “The City of Churches” has 57 members in 2025 who gather to watch matches at Radio Italiana 531, in Adelaide’s inner-western suburb of Hindmarsh. The club was founded by Paul Fantasia, a second generation Australian Italian, and Marco Petta, an Italian migrant from Cernusco sul Naviglio who both wanted to create a Milan Club for the strong presence of Milanisti in their city.
Milan Club Melbourne has 128 members and gather to watch matches at Brunetti Classico, Carlton. A highlight in the history of the club was seeing the map of Melbourne incorporated on AC Milan’s offi cial away guernsey in the 2021/22 Championship-winning season as part of the "From Milan to the World" charitable initiative that offi cially launched in September 2021.
Milan Club Sydney is built on a strong foundation of community and family values.
They proudly welcome their growing membership base, supporters, and visitors from Italy and around the world to enjoy match viewings at their clubhouse in Five Dock, Sydney. This year marked the exciting launch of their special partnership with the City of Canada Bay, showcased through their support and participation at Australia’s largest Italian street festival, Ferragosto 2025 bringing the community together for a lively celebration of football, culture, and family.
Looking forward Milan Clubs Australia plans to make annual pilgrimages to San Siro and will continue to host the annual Milan Clubs Australia Festa on a rotational basis, as it has done since 2022.
