From ticketing chaos to transport blowouts, from basic fan welfare concerns to barriers just getting into host countries, almost every aspect of preparation has left supporters frustrated, confused, and in many cases, priced out.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is almost here. For the Australian football community, knowing where to gather and watch together is essential. Whether you are on the ground in North America or backing the team from home, the FSAA has compiled the official list of live sites and active support pre-game venues.

While it sounds like a boring boardroom meeting, the people in that room hold the keys to our game in Australia. They decide where grassroots money goes, set development pathways for our kids, run the Matildas and Socceroos, and decide the future of the game we love.

What a huge couple of months it has has been, possibly one of the most significant periods for fan advocacy in the history of Australian football. From the terraces to the boardrooms, we are seeing real, tangible proof that when football supporters unite, those inside the game (and outside) have to listen.

The Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) and the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) have today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), formalising a collaborative partnership to ensure supporters have an independent and definitive voice in the future of the professional game.

As the action on the pitch heats up, our advocacy work off the pitch has been equally relentless. Here is where the FSAA currently stands on the game's biggest issues.

“It is about time Football Australia, as a member association of FIFA, promptly and directly raised the concerns of Australian football supporters with the international governing body. Football should be about the fans, their passion, and the match-day atmosphere they generate.”

The Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) and Football Coaches Australia (FCA) are delighted to announce a formalised partnership aimed at uniting two of the most vital stakeholder groups in the game: the supporters on the terraces and the coaches on the touchlines.

We are right in the thick of a massive month of football, highlighted by the Women’s Asian Cup taking centre stage on home soil.

When the Federal Government rolled out the $200 million 'Play Our Way' grant, competing codes were straight there with their hands out, eager for a slice of what should have been football’s pie.

This initiative investigates the unique consumption behaviours of supporters of Women’s National Teams (The Matildas) alongside comparative data from Men’s National Teams (The Socceroos), in addition to examining trends in support for club and local football.

Welcome to February. What a massive start to 2026. We have a big few months ahead and there is plenty happening at the FSAA.

Earlier this week, the Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) engaged with the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) following the recent incident where a young supporter was asked to remove a jersey depicting a national flag before entering Allianz Stadium.

The Football Supporters Association Australia (FSAA) is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with researchers from Curtin University and PUC-Rio (Brazil) to facilitate a major global study into the behaviours of football fans.

As the national voice for supporters, the FSAA looks forward to establishing a fruitful and constructive relationship with Martin. Our priority remains clear: representing the interests of Australian football fans and ensuring their voice is heard at the highest level.

We can either rinse and repeat, rolling out another short-term, three-year corporate strategy that patches over the cracks, or we can finally be brave enough to build a legacy.

This appointment marks a significant step in ensuring our advocacy remains truly national. Following the 2025 Annual General Meeting, the General Committee identified a critical gap in representation for football supporters in South Australia.

If 2025 was the purchase, 2026 is the year we check the receipts and hold football leaders to account.

While we celebrate the spectacle, we must also lead the conversation regarding the significant barriers facing our community—specifically regarding US entry requirements and extortionate ticket pricing.

The fixture was widely condemned by both players and supporters alike. This included the active support of both clubs, Curva Sud Milano and Curva Como 1907 as well as a swell of solidarity against the exporting of domestic matches from over 550 supporter groups representing more than 3 million football fans across Europe, the UK, and the USA.
