Football Victoria (FV) is the governing body for football (soccer) in Victoria with a clear purpose to inspire and enable Victorians from all walks of life to live and love football, for life.
As a member federation of Football Federation Australia and through the national body's affiliation with FIFA (Federation of International Football Associations), we look after the administration, promotion and delivery of football and futsal (indoor football) across the state including:
- semi-professional ranks
- amateurs
- women and girls
- youth
- referees
- coaches
- officials
- volunteers
As a not-for-profit sporting organisation run by a Board of Directors, Football Victoria’s funding derives primarily from membership and club affiliation fees, government grants and corporate sponsorship. We reinvest money generated by the game across a range of areas including coaching, education, facilities, and by providing support and participation opportunities back into the community. We work collaboratively with both state and federal governments to ensure football remains a priority when it comes to supporting the ongoing growth of the game, on the behalf of the vast football family and the community as a whole.
Our team of more than 70 people helps to deliver over 40,000 football matches every football season, through the scheduling of annual fixtures and by setting appropriate rules of competition. And, our appointed match officials, alongside the many thousands of club volunteers, play a vital role in making the game happen week in, week out.
