Football Victoria (FV) is proud to announce Keilor Park SC as the Club Changer Club of the Month for September, recognising their journey towards greater diversity, equity and inclusion.
With a senior women's side moving up to the National Premier League Women's in 2026, a senior men's team moving into the VPLM 2, programs and teams from ages 4 and up and a leadership group that values diversity, transparency and accountability, Keilor Park is setting itself up for a strong and exciting future.
At Keilor Park Soccer Club, good governance isn’t just a box to tick—it’s the foundation of everything they do. With clear processes that promote transparency and accountability, the club has aligned itself with FV's Club Changer program, setting a high standard for community football.
This commitment to integrity gives members, players, and partners the confidence that Keilor Park is being managed with purpose and professionalism.
Club President Ben Di-Lorenzo puts it best; “Good governance enables transparency, accountability, and strong decision-making."
"It gives confidence to our members, players, and partners that the club is being managed with integrity and purpose. At Keilor Park, we see governance not just as compliance, but as a foundation for building trust and driving our vision forward.”
Keilor Park is also making waves with their commitment to gender parity—both in leadership and player development. From grassroots programs to elite NPL pathways, the club ensures opportunities for players of all genders to thrive.
This inclusive mindset extends to the committee room, where Keilor Park proudly maintains a 50/50 gender balance. This diversity brings fresh perspectives, strengthens decision-making, and fosters a culture of innovation and respect.
While Keilor Park has achieved impressive milestones, the journey is far from over. The club is actively enhancing its risk management policies to ensure the safety and wellbeing of every member—on and off the pitch.
By combining strong governance, gender equality, and clear development pathways, Keilor Park is setting a benchmark for what community football can be. Its recognition as Football Victoria’s Club of the Month is not just a celebration of past achievements—it’s a signal of the club’s bold vision for the future.
