AFL Victoria is excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2025 Junior and Youth Girls Uniform Grant Program, proudly supported by Fanatics. In 2025, there is a total of $250,000 available for community clubs to share.
The program strives to help more girls feel confident, included and proud to play community football by giving their leagues, clubs and umpire associations the means to provide them with gender appropriate uniforms.
The purpose of this funding may include:
- Replacing white shorts with a suitable alternative for junior & youth girls’ teams
- Purchasing of appropriate playing/umpiring uniforms that are made specifically for girls (i.e. female cuts)
The grant applications are open on October 27 to community football leagues, clubs, and umpire associations, and will close at 11:59pm AEDT Monday November 24.
