  • 2017 Ffsa Season Review Facilities Funding
    2017 FFSA SEASON REVIEW FACILITIES FUNDING The continued improvement of club based infrastructure has been a strategic priority for Football Federation SA in the past number of years. Being able to cater for the expanding participation base is vitally important to the sustainability of clubs. Additionally, being able to provide quality environments for game day and training will ultimately lead to the development of quality players for the future. In partnership with clubs, Football Federation SA (FFSA) has developed a Football Facilities Development Strategy that has considered the existing provision of facilities available for Football in the State and planned for future growth. The planning document has provided an evidenced based vehicle to present to Federal, State and Local Governments. Football’s plan received a fantastic boost when the South Australian State Government announced an investment of $13.5 million into community Football facilities. The announcement made by Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis (who has been a great supporter of Football in the state) and Deputy Premier John Rau enabled Football Federation SA to unlock a further $7 million in federal and local government support. The combined investment has seen $30.5 million invested in Football specific infrastructure projects in the past two years. The following clubs and user groups have been positively impacted on as a result of the South Australian State Government’s investment; Adelaide Olympic Football Club, Modbury Jets, Adelaide University Women, Adelaide City Women, Campbelltown Women, Cumberland United Women, Fulham United Women, Metro United Women, Salisbury Inter Women, West Adelaide Women, Sturt Lion, Fullham United, West Adelaide Hellas, Adelaide Comets, Metro Stars, White City Juniors and Seniors, Cove, South Adelaide Panthers, Seaford Rangers, West Torrens Birkalla, Mt Barker United, Northern Demons, Cumberland United, Referees, NTC Boys & Girls, FFSA Development Squads (Boys & Girls).
