Football Federation Australia (FFA) recognises that each year there are many people arriving in Australia from other countries who have a strong passion for football and want to participate, but may have barriers, such as  communication, financial or cultural, which impede their involvement.

We are committed to removing some of these barriers and ensuring that you have have the opportunity to access a club and enjoy your football. 

FFA partners with Football United, an organisation that uses football for social development. They use the magic of football to bring people together for the common goal of creating harmonious and cohesive societies. They aim to build capacity of communities, and improve the skills of people, in diverse areas that includes high proportions of refugee, migrant and indigenous children, youth and families. This has resulted in membership of the Street Football World network and partnerships with FIFA’s Football for Hope.
