Hellenic Athletic Club will be looking to make the Round of 16 for the first time in the Australia Cup when taking on Football NSW League 1 side Inter Lions FC at Darwin Football Stadium.
Club: Hellenic Athletic Club
State/Territory: Northern Territory
Home ground: Darwin Football Stadium
Founded: 1958
Australia Cup Final Rounds appearances (inc. 2023): 2
Best result: Round of 32 (2018)
Head Coach: Dimi Galanopoulos
Road to the Round of 32:
- Hellenic Athletic 3-0 Uni Azzurri
- Hellenic Athletic 3-1 Verdi
A couple of three-goal performances were enough to see Hellenic Athletic Club become the sole Northern Territory representative in the Cup, after having a bye in round 5 to move through the stages of qualifying.
In their only match in their Australia Cup history, they took A-League Men side Western Sydney Wanderers all the way.
After making an astonishing comeback from two goals down, they then equalised once more to make it 3-3 in the third minute but sorrowfully bowed out thanks to a 92nd-minute winning goal.
Nonetheless, they will look to turn that threatening performance from five years ago into a deeper run into the Cup this campaign.

Hellenic Athletic have lost just one of their twelve matches in the NorZone Premier League this campaign, and sit first on the table by five points, albeit having played one game more than the rest of the competition.
Their only defeat came in an astonishing 5-4 clash, and they are unbeaten in six matches, having followed that defeat with an 8-1 win over Darwin Olympic.
There are still six matches to go in the competition, but their focus will first turn to their next game in the exciting Cup tie against Inter Lions FC.
