Football Victoria (FV) joins the wider community in condemning the scenes at AAMI Park during last night’s Melbourne Derby.
No individual in our football community - whether they be a player, official, media provider or fan - should have their safety compromised at a match, at any level.
Football is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of Victorians every year. The overwhelming majority of our football community live and love football under a banner of respect. This culture has driven significant growth at all levels and built welcoming, united communities.
FV is committed to the ongoing delivery of initiatives that ensure our beautiful game remains a safe and inclusive space for all.
