The Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) and Football Coaches Australia (FCA) are delighted to announce a formalised partnership aimed at uniting two of the most vital stakeholder groups in the game: the supporters on the terraces and the coaches on the touchlines.

We are right in the thick of a massive month of football, highlighted by the Women’s Asian Cup taking centre stage on home soil.

When the Federal Government rolled out the $200 million 'Play Our Way' grant, competing codes were straight there with their hands out, eager for a slice of what should have been football’s pie.

This initiative investigates the unique consumption behaviours of supporters of Women’s National Teams (The Matildas) alongside comparative data from Men’s National Teams (The Socceroos), in addition to examining trends in support for club and local football.

Welcome to February. What a massive start to 2026. We have a big few months ahead and there is plenty happening at the FSAA.

Earlier this week, the Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) engaged with the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) following the recent incident where a young supporter was asked to remove a jersey depicting a national flag before entering Allianz Stadium.

The Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with researchers from Curtin University and PUC-Rio (Brazil) to facilitate a major global study into the behaviours of football fans.

As the national voice for supporters, the FSAA looks forward to establishing a fruitful and constructive relationship with Martin. Our priority remains clear: representing the interests of Australian football fans and ensuring their voice is heard at the highest level.

We can either rinse and repeat, rolling out another short-term, three-year corporate strategy that patches over the cracks, or we can finally be brave enough to build a legacy.

This appointment marks a significant step in ensuring our advocacy remains truly national. Following the 2025 Annual General Meeting, the General Committee identified a critical gap in representation for football supporters in South Australia.

If 2025 was the purchase, 2026 is the year we check the receipts and hold football leaders to account.

While we celebrate the spectacle, we must also lead the conversation regarding the significant barriers facing our community—specifically regarding US entry requirements and extortionate ticket pricing.

The fixture was widely condemned by both players and supporters alike. This included the active support of both clubs, Curva Sud Milano and Curva Como 1907 as well as a swell of solidarity against the exporting of domestic matches from over 550 supporter groups representing more than 3 million football fans across Europe, the UK, and the USA.

Professional Footballers Australia (the PFA) and Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) have today announced a new partnership to create an official connection between professional players and supporters. 

The surface at Suncorp Stadium was, frankly, an embarrassment. To call it a pitch would be generous; it looked more like mud and clay with a few token blades of grass fighting for survival.

When the active ends are full, when the noise is deafening, and when the stakes feel high, the A-League is a product that rivals anything in Australian sport.

Como 1907’s main support group have issued a blistering statement regarding reports of a potential Serie A fixture against AC Milan to be played in Perth.

FSAA Deputy Chair Blayne Treadgold explores the crucial difference between a casual fan and a truly invested supporter. As we look back to assess the legacy of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the question remains: how the hell did we squander our biggest chance to convert new fans into rusted-on football supporters?

For supporters, the report is a crucial, and worrying, read. It details a league facing stagnation, a talent drain, and systemic issues that are failing both players and fans.

The recent collapse of Gungahlin United, leaving 2,000 players without a team, is more than a local tragedy—it's a case study in systemic failure. FSAA's Nicholas Houston breaks down how a volunteer-run community club was driven into bankruptcy by massive government ground hire fees.
