Hobart Zebras Football Club (also known as Tilford Zebras or just Zebras) was an association football club based in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The club is one of the biggest and most successful clubs in Tasmania. It competes in competitions run by the governing body Football Federation Tasmania, including the NPL Tasmania. The club uses the colours of Juventus FC and have historical ties and links to the club. They merged with Clarence United FC after the 2019 season to form Clarence Zebras FC.

History[edit]

The club was founded in 1956 under the name "Juventus Soccer Club".[1] The club competed on the national stage in the 1985 and 1986 NSL Cup competitions.

They were primarily known as "Hobart Juventus" until 1997. In 1997, Australian soccer made the decision to end ethnic affiliations between Australian football teams,[2] as a result the club changed its name to Hobart Zebras FC in 1998.[1] Despite the ban on such affiliations, the club still has strong links to the expatriate Italian community in Hobart.

Hobart Zebras are one of the states most successful sides, having been state champions 8 times, most recently in 1993, and southern champions 9 times, most recently in 2004. 2007 saw the club win the State Premiership, Southern Premiership and the Summer Cup. 2010 saw the club under new management with former player Romeo Frediani. This turned out to be a trophyless year for the club starting a disappointing era under Frediani.

The women's team won the Super League in 2019.[1]

At the end of the 2019 season, they merged with Clarence United to form Clarence Zebras FC.[3]
