LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD

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.
 

Poor facilities

 
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.

Our goal is to ensure the football community speaks with one clear and consistent voice, so our message cannot be ignored.
