REPORT DISCRIMINATION
Discrimination has no place in football.
We must respect and treat others the way we expect to be treated. Football Victoria (FV) is determined to stamp out unauthorised behaviour, to ensure the integrity of our game. Along with the Don’t Stand By, Stand Up! Campaign, FV is continuing to work towards ensuring our game is free of anti-social behaviour. To assist us, we have developed a form whereby any discriminatory incidents can be reported directly to FV.
Discrimination can take many forms, such as jokes, comments and exclusions that cause offence or hurt, sometimes unintentionally; name-calling or verbal abuse; harassment or intimidation, and can often manifest through unconscious bias or prejudice.
If you have been a victim of discrimination, or have witnessed discriminatory behaviour towards another individual, report the incident to FV by submitting the form below.
To assist FV in achieving a game free of discrimination, complete the report discrimination form to the best of your ability. Please note, if you choose to remain anonymous, or not provide any contact information, the report submitted may not be able to be followed up.
MATCH INCIDENT REPORT FORM
Football Victoria's Legal & Integrity Department have created a Match Incident Report Form for Clubs to report any alleged incident's that occur at fixtures in 2025.
COMMUNITY MATCH INVESTIGATION FORM
The Match Investigation Submission Form has been designed to streamline the Match Investigation submission process and provide clubs with more efficient determinations.
In order to facilitate a Match Investigation, Football Victoria (FV) requires Clubs to provide the necessary information to formulate outcomes and determinations. These requirements are outlined in the Rules of Competition and are compulsory when completing this form.
Prior to completing a Match Investigation Submission Form, please note:
- Match Investigation requests must be submitted by a Club representative (i.e. Club Administrator, President or Secretary). Any submissions recieved by non-club representatives will not be reviewed by FV. If you are a not a Club representative (coach, team manager, player, parent, spectator, etc.) please raise your request and concerns with your Club representative for them to submit on your behalf.
- If your Match Investigation relates to a dispute of the Match Record, as per the Rules of Competition, this must be lodged within 7 days of the competition fixture.
