Football Victoria (FV) can today confirm Player Registration and Team Entry fees for the 2023 season.
FV maintains its ongoing commitment to ensuring football is as affordable as possible for all those who play our beautiful game; and the fees associated are transparent and clear.
As part of the administration of almost 40,000 fixtures annually, FV incurs external expenses that have risen sharply across the past two years in particular.
Aside from the general escalation of costs throughout 2022, insurance costs alone have increased almost 30% over a 2 year period. Insurance costs are included as part of your registration fee and FV passes these funds on to the insurance provider. This ensures all registered participants have access to critical benefits in the event of a football-related accident, or injury.
FV elected to support teams, players and families by absorbing the majority of these cost increases over the past two years, via a price freeze in 2021 and an average fee increase of 3% in 2022.
In light of this challenging environment, FV will apply an average increase of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to Player Registration and Team Entry fees for the 2023 season.
The current CPI rate of 7.3% equates to an increase of between $2 and $15 per participant, in relation to FV player registration fees.
As an example, please see below a summary of the player registration fee increases for the Community and NPL Junior Boys competitions.

Along with insurance, the FV player registration/team entry fee covers all aspects of football administration; including fixturing, competition rules/policies, referee scheduling, education and accreditation, player dispensation requests, discipline procedures (including the GDT), Council liaison and Club support services. In 2023, there will be a particular focus on growing female football, through new initiatives, programs and leadership opportunities.
Please note that the Football Australia National Registration Fee (NRF) has also increased for the 2023 season. The fee for junior registrations has increased from $14 to $14.50, whilst the fee for senior registrations has increased from $33 to $34. FV collects this fee as part of your registration and passes this directly on to Football Australia.
