context_page_description: Moreland is a now-defunct association football team that competed in various leagues in Victoria, Australia between 1934 and 1985. The team was also known as Moreland Victoria and as Moreland Thistle between 1965 and 1970.
  After the 1985 season, Moreland merged with Park Rangers to form Moreland Park Rangers. In 1990 Moreland Park Rangers merged with Coburg to form the team now known as Moreland City.
  The team played its home matches at Campbell Reserve, Coburg. In a history spanning 50 years, Moreland won the Victorian Division 1 title, then the top tier of soccer in the state, three times.
context_section_description: The Dockerty Cup victory of 1945 came under the name of Moreland Hakoah. During World War II, there was a temporary merger between Moreland and Hakoah, a club who had a predominantly Jewish supporter base.
  Some clubs had difficulty fielding teams during the war years while others were forced to close down because many players had left and enlisted for the armed services.
  By 1946, the merger between Moreland and Hakoah came to an end with clubs again participating as separate teams.
