Who we are..
Your independent voice for Australian and NZ football supporters
Established and formally incorporated in 2023, the Football Supporters Association Australia (Inc.) was created to address a critical need: providing a unified, independent representation for all Australian football supporters through a dedicated supporter-first approach.
We are a grassroots, volunteer collective dedicated to advancing supporter interests and ensuring the fan's voice directly influences the future of the game.
We are actively seeking the recognition of supporters as the key to the game's success by aiming to play a major role in the decision making process ensuring the game’s biggest stakeholder is at the forefront.
Meet the Committee
The Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) is driven entirely by dedicated, passionate volunteers who are elected directly from our membership.
Our 2025/26 Committee is responsible for establishing the strategic direction of the association, leading all major fan advocacy campaigns, and serving as the official representative voice for supporters on critical national matters.
We pride ourselves on the breadth of experience we bring to this work. With representation spanning five states and one territory of Australia, our members combine a diverse range football experiences around Australia and the world, with a wide range of professional skillsets.
Every committee member is a committed supporter who volunteers their time—not just to attend meetings, but to actively advance the entire supporter movement across Australia and New Zealand.
