Thirty-seven local Victorian clubs and associations will share in a total of $250,000 to go towards junior and youth girls football uniforms.


The announcement confirms distribution of funding for a new grants opportunity launched earlier this year by the AFL – the Junior and Youth Girls Uniform Grant Program – which is proudly supported by Fanatics, a global digital sports platform.


The program was established to foster inclusion by allocating funding towards new uniforms for junior and youth girls in community football.


Of the 96 successful recipients across the country, 89 are clubs and seven are umpire associations.
