Football Victoria is thrilled to be partnering with TAC to deliver our inaugural Road Safety Round from 24 - 26 April. We're calling on all clubs to get involved, help to promote safety on our roads - and have the chance to share in a $40,000 prize pool!* Because when it comes to road safety, we're all on the same team.
As the most participated club-based outdoor sport in Victoria, we know the football community clocks up countless hours on our roads across the state to play the game we love. We are proud to be partnering with TAC to Band Together and promote safe driving on our roads.
TAC Road Safety Round is the inaugural Victorian community football themed round that will take place next weekend 24 - 26 April 2026.
Road Safety Focus
The priority road safety focus for this football season is speeding. Each year in Victoria, speeding contributes to at least 30% of fatal crashes and 25% of serious injury crashes. Going “a little bit over” the speed limit, by as little as 5 km/h, increases the risk of a serious crash by 44%. BE THE DIFFERENCE. Make the right choice. Slow down on the road.
How you can promote and participate in Road Safety Round:
- Sign up for the TAC Club Participation Program (see details below)
- Encourage all players and staff (including volunteers) to wear the provided armbands to encourage your community to ‘Band Together’ for road safety during matches between Friday 24 and Sunday 26 April.
- Host a themed Road Safety Round during the weekend.
- Join the community by sharing content on social media using the tags #TACBandTogether and handles @TACVictoria @football_victoria.
- Utilise Road Safety Round digital assets across the weekend. Found here
- Promote Road Safety Round in club newsletters, website and digital platforms.
