Do you know an individual, club or volunteer who goes above and beyond for football in our region?
Football Victoria has officially opened nominations for the 2026 Community Awards, celebrating the outstanding people, clubs and initiatives that make Victorian football stronger both on and off the pitch.
Every year, volunteers, coaches, referees, administrators, players and community leaders dedicate countless hours to growing the game and creating positive experiences for others. The Community Awards are an opportunity to recognise those contributions and celebrate the people who make our football community so special.
Whether it’s a volunteer who never misses a match day, a coach inspiring the next generation, an inclusive club initiative or someone making a lasting impact behind the scenes, now is the time to nominate them.
