Charlestown City Blues FC is a football (soccer) club based in Highfields a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales. Founded in 1963, Highfields Azzurri played in the NBN State League. To try to meet the requirements of the 2009 NBN State Football League, the club merged with local neighbours Charlestown United, forming a new club called Charlestown City Blues FC.
Despite the merger, Highfields Azzurri were relegated to the New FM 1st Division.
After the relegation, Azzurri lost some of its squad to other NBN League clubs like Broadmeadow Magic, Valentine Phoenix and Hamilton Olympic, meaning major recruitment was undertaken in order to be ready for the 2009 season.
