Football Victoria joins campaign to fight racism in sport

With the launch of the Victorian Government’s Racism Doesn’t Belong in Our Game campaign, Football Victoria joins several sporting organisations in the state to ensure sport remains inclusive and welcoming for all.

 

About the campaign

Racism Doesn’t Belong in Our Game aims to raise awareness of racism in community sport, uniting organisations and associations like VACSAL, Vicsport, VicHealth and more.

Football Victoria, as the state’s governing body for the beautiful game, will affirm its commitment to ensuring football is a safe and inclusive place for all who play, coach or support by joining the campaign.

It reflects the leadership and guidance of the Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY) and its CMSport initiative, a service provider with over 30 years of experience in supporting diversity in sports through training, coaching and mentoring, and consulting support.

“It has been fantastic to work with CMSport, CMY and the other sporting codes to bring this campaign to life,” said FV Executive Manager of Equity Growth and Government Relations Karen Pearce via media release.

“The Racism Doesn’t Belong in Our Game campaign started with a pledge from all seven codes to tackle racism, and I really do believe that we can achieve that as a cohesive group pulling toward the same goals.”

 

Strength in diversity

Australia is an immensely diverse and multicultural nation. According to numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the population includes 8.8 million people born overseas, representing 32% of the population. 48% have a parent born overseas, while 4% is Indigenous.

It should therefore be expected – and indeed, welcomed – that Australia’s most-participated sport reflects this multiculturalism.

But for many who want to enjoy playing or watching football in their local community, incidents of racism continue to plague their experiences in the game.

“Research tells us over 56% of Victorian community sport have reported experiencing or witnessing racism, a truly alarming number,” Pearce continued.

“We look forward to working together to lower that stat as we try to stamp out racism in sport once and for all.”

Racism Doesn’t Belong in Our Game ultimately embodies not only the goal for all sport going forward, but the best way through which to achieve it.

That is, through unity and championing the diversity which makes Australia a nation to admire.

Inaugural 2026 UEFA Walking Football EURO Cup begins

On 25 June, senior players from across Europe will take part in the first UEFA Walking Football EURO Cup at UEFA HQ in Lyon, Switzerland.

 

It’s everyone’s game

When thinking about football, fans tend to imagine the fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping action of the professional game. That is where excitement and drama is, usually, at its highest.

But growing within the wider football landscape is a version of the game which, rather than focusing on speed, instead champions enjoyment, health and participation for senior participants.

Walking football is proof that football truly belongs to everyone. UEFA’s commitment to staging the inaugral tournament on 25 June reflects the organisation’s understanding that a love for the beautiful game stays despite age, injury, or mobility issues.

Alongside the 2026 UEFA Walking Football Euro Cup is the release of the UEFA Walking Football Toolkit. This aims to provide more information about the game, benefitting associations, leagues and clubs and encompasses contributions from national associations of England, the Faroe Islands, France, Gibraltar, Portugal, Poland and Sweden.

 

A brief history of walking football – and its importance

From its beginnings in the UK in 2011, walking football has since expanded across Europe and the world to give senior players a chance to be socially and physically active – all within a safe, minimal-impact environment.

And the game – despite its more steady nature – is gathering real pace here in Australia.

In October 2021, Football Australia introduced the first ever Seniors Football Week. Also, just last month, Brisbane Roar hosted the 2026 IWFF Walking Football World Championships at Perry Park – the first time the tournament has taken place in the entire Southern Hemisphere.

The implication, therefore, is that walking football will continue to grow and welcome more members of the community with a desire to dust off their old boots and join a team.

From youth teams to walking football, everyone in the pyramid shares the same love for the game. And there is no reason why, when speaking about the cohesive football development, that walking football shouldn’t be included in future planning and strategic visions.
