NSW Football Legacy Fund Kicks Off

The NSW Government’s Football Legacy Fund is open for applications. The Fund aims to strengthen local communities and secure brighter futures for clubs and associations across NSW.

It will help increase football participation through the construction or upgrade of community facilities, new or enhanced programs, and leadership and development programs.

Delivered in partnership with Football NSW and Northern NSW Football, the program focuses on inclusive projects encouraging the participation of females and people living with a disability.

Minister for Sport, Alister Henskens said the legacy of NSW hosting matches for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 would live on long after the tournament ended.

“The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 will bring the best players from across the globe to NSW as they compete for the prestigious title of world champions and the NSW Government wants to ensure they leave a positive legacy for our next generation of football stars,” Mr Henskens said.

“The Football Legacy Fund will ensure the entire NSW football family benefits from the state hosting World Cup matches, from grassroots through to elite-level competition.”

Two streams are available in Round 1:

• Infrastructure, with up to $2.5 million available for upgrade or construction of new community facilities; and
• Participation, with up to $650,000 available for programs that support increased football participation and leadership development.
