History of Milan Clubs Australia

Registered with AIMC by Daniel Karamaneas to establish Australia’s first official AC Milan supporters club, Milan Club Australia.
 

Shortly following the foundation of Milan Club Australia, Milan Club Sydney was formed.

AC Milan travels to Australia for the first time in 30 years and Milan Clubs Australia is officially recognised as Australia’s Milan Club - acting as a conduit between club and fans to organise formal events during the week.

​Milan Club Melbourne is founded on August 9, 2017 and informally joins Milan Clubs Australia.

​As the club has continued to grow, it became clear that the Union Cubs needed to agree to a set of shared principles and governing rules. Milan Club Adelaide, Milan Club Melbourne and Milan Club Sydney agree to a charter that formalises The Union, making Milan Clubs Australia the largest AC Milan Fan Club in Australia, and largest official club in the world outside of Europe.

On June 25 the first Milan Clubs Australia Festa is hosted by Milan Club Melbourne. The next day, the first conference of Australian Milan Clubs is held at Ultra Football. Here, Milan Club Adelaide officially joins The Union, with founding committee members: Taylor Battistella, President, Daniel Karamaneas, Secretary, Marco Petta as Vice President and Paul Fantasia as a General Member.

​In 2026, AC Milan is set to return to Australia to play the first Derby della Madonnina overseas in 15 years.
