Surfers Paradise Apollo Soccer Club is a semi-professional soccer club based in Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia. The club currently plays in the FQPL 3 − South Coast competition, the fourth flight of men's soccer in Queensland and the fifth flight of Australian soccer.
Greek-Australian Bert Voutos founded the Apollo Soccer Club in 1978 after failed attempts to convince the Gold Coast Greek Committee to buy/lease grounds and form a soccer club. The team was initially based at Sir Bruce Small Park in Benowa and shared tenancy with the Surfers Paradise Demons Australian rules football club. The Apollo club relocated to the TAFE Ashmore campus before eventually settling on the Isle of Capri and established facilities at Lex Bell Oval. The club was then renamed the Surfers Paradise Apollo Soccer Club as their new facilities were based close to the suburb of Surfers Paradise.
The club won their first top tier honour after winning the Gold Coast Premier League President's Cup in 2000. The first Premiership title came in 2002 with the club securing both a Premiership and Championship.
