Fuel the Growth. Fund the Game.
Football is growing at an extraordinary pace in Victoria. Participation is booming, demand is surging, and new communities are embracing the game like never before.
But our facilities, funding and infrastructure haven't kept up. For too long, football in Victoria has lacked a united, consistent voice when it comes to advocating for what our game needs. We own that - and we’re changing it.
With the launch of the Facilities Strategy 2025-2035, we now have a clear and ambitious plan to build the spaces our players, coaches, referees and volunteers deserve. This strategy is our blueprint to catch up; and keep pace; with the game's growth over the next decade.
As the countdown begins to the 2026 Victorian State Election, we're launching Level the Playing Field - a statewide campaign to ensure football finally receives the investment it needs.
This is a call to action.
It’s time to close the gap between demand and delivery.
It’s time to invest in every club, every community, every player.
It’s time to Level the Playing Field.
Calling All Participants! Help Shape The Future of Football
Football Victoria is calling on all current and past players, parents, coaches, referees, and volunteers to have your say and Level the Playing Field!
By completing our quick 3-minute survey, we will be able to amplify the voice of the football community into the halls of Parliament.
Take the Survey. Share Your Voice and Level The Playing Field!
Your response will help Football Victoria champion the needs of the football community ahead of the 2026 State Election - from increased investment, and better facilities to more coordinated government support.
As a thank you, 5 participants will be randomly selected to win a prize from our amazing partners.
Your voice matters, so let it be heard. Let’s make sure football gets the recognition and investment it deserves at Election time!
This is the home of the Level the Playing Field campaign.

Guidelines: Please utilise these Canva templates to upload images of your club facilities and share your clubs journey. This could be highlighting the need for improved pitch conditions, lighting upgrades or the need for changerooms that cater for all genders. On the other hand, if your club had facility upgrades in recent years, showcase why this has been a game changer for your club!
In the coming weeks, you'll be able to access:
- Further resources for clubs and stakeholders
- Advocacy guides and templates
- Stories of success and impact
Our goal is to ensure the football community speaks with one clear and consistent voice, so our message cannot be ignored.
This is our opportunity and our responsibility. Together, we can Level the Playing Field.
