Football Victoria has introduced the Three (3) Strike Policy for the 2026 Season.
Over the past seasons FV is seeing increasing levels of egregious and disheartening incidents towards Match Officials, resulting in many Match Officials choosing not to continue because of abuse. To combat this trend of Match Officials walking away from the beautiful game, FV has introduced a Three Strike Policy.
The primary purpose of this policy is to reduce the levels of negative behaviour demonstrated towards Match Officials and build a culture of accountability within Clubs for the behaviour of their Associates.
Please refer to the below document for further details!
