The Flinders University Soccer Club was formed in 1967, one year after the University was opened in 1966.

The club currently has approximately 100 playing members from all over the world. Some of the successes over its history are winning the Division 2 Reserve League Title in 2004 and the Mitre Reserve Cup in 1999, defeating West Beach 2-1 in the final. The club also won the Saturday Division 2 League Title in 1992. Flinders University player Oyvind Myklebust won the Rossi Medal, awarded to the Player of the Year in the Saturday Division 1 competition in 2001.

In 2006 the Flinders University Soccer Club became an incorporated body and renamed itself to the Flinders Soccer Club. The club was forced to incorporate to ensure its survival into the future with funding from the University withdrawn once Voluntary Student Unionism was introduced in 2006. By incorporating the club made itself eligible for significant sporting grants available from the State Government under the Active Clubs Program and has successfully bid for over $12,000 since 2007. Together with sponsorship from the Tonsley Hotel and Michael Chunys Developments the club has been able
