  • South set to apply for WNPL Position

    South set to apply for WNPL Position

    South Melbourne FC welcomes FFV’s recent announcement that it will add a team to the WNPL in 2017, expanding the women’s NPL from its inaugural 8 teams this year.
    FFV has opened the application process which will close on October 6 with the successful applicant being announced on October 21. SMFC will apply for the additional licence commencing next year. The club is presently preparing its application which will focus on its past and present substantial contribution to the development of women’s football.
    SMFC has invested heavily in ensuring its female teams are treated equally with its male teams in every way. Coaching, player development, use of fields and facilities, allocation of resources, promotions, sponsorship and club governance are all areas in which our female players and members are being treated equally. Our members voted overwhelmingly at our most recent AGM to endorse this course and approved resolutions to make the necessary amendments to our Constitution to enshrine equality and excellence across and male and female senior and junior teams.
    This year, while competing at community level, our senior women, under 16s and under 14s all excelled by finishing on top of their leagues, continuing the club’s excellence in female football and complementing the success of the senior men and a number of our boys’ teams.

    South’s very own joins Birmingham City

    Birmingham City Football Club are one of the 92 teams in the English Football League (Premier League down to League Two) all participating in an end-of-season charity cycling event from London to Amsterdam.

    Starting at West Ham United’s new stadium and ending at Dutch Giants Ajax Amsterdam, the event comprises teams from each of the English clubs. Birmingham City will be represented by long-time South Melbourne FC Corporate Partner Brendon Davis of AIS Insurance.

    Managers, executives, players and past champions are representing their clubs in this iconic event. Former England captain Terry Butcher, and his former England team mate Viv Anderson are two of many high profile football identities cycling for an excellent cause.

    It’s not a race but a fundraiser for an excellent cause, Brendon explained, before adding “we obviously have to beat Aston Villa and Wolverhampton!”

    The event is a 230 kilometre cycle that leaves London on 3 June and crosses the North Sea overnight using the Harwich ferry. Brendon is already making plans on how to best follow SMFC during his overseas trip.

    AIS are into their 20th consecutive season as an SMFC Corporate Partner.
