Dear FC Bulleen Lions Community,
The FFA has just issued the following statement:
“Football Federation Australia (FFA) today advised that, after considered discussion with its nine State and Territory Member Federations
and assessment of developments today, sanctioned grassroots football competitions and associated training would be suspended for the
next four weeks. The decision will take effect from 12:00am on Wednesday, 18 March 2020 until Tuesday, 14 April 2020.”
Subsequent to the FFA announcement, Football Victoria issued the following statement:
“Football Victoria (FV) welcomes Football Federation Australia’s (FFA) announcement today that all football (soccer) competitions across Victoria
have been postponed until 14 April.
What does this mean?
• Effective immediately, all games, training and other football activities must cease;
• Where possible, unnecessary meetings and other gatherings should either cease or be minimised. I suggest that you look
to alternative forms of meeting (teleconferences) or by utilising other forms of technology (e.g. Skype).
• All Football and grassroots competitions and leagues (i.e. below A & W League) will be suspended until 14 April 2020.
• Any football activity which takes place during this period is not sanctioned by Football Victoria and, therefore, the Personal
Accident insurance cover that is provided as part of a player’s registration may not apply.
As you would appreciate, we are in regular contact with FFA and relevant government agencies, and we are all committed to keeping
you informed and up to date in these rapidly changing times.”
FC Bulleen Lions welcomes the above announcements and will be complying with this decision effective immediately to postpone all training and games
Until the 14th of April.
