This latest agreement adds further clarity for community clubs and Local Government Authorities for grounds shared between Football (Soccer) and Cricket after Cricket Victoria and AFL Victoria recently announced a similar agreement for grounds shared between AFL and Cricket.
In acknowledging the ongoing impact of COVID-19 Cricket Victoria and Football Victoria sought to maximise participation for both the soccer and cricket seasons, provide a framework for competitions and Local Government to plan ahead, allow adequate time for Local Governments/Ground Managers to transition grounds and minimise any overlap for participants and parents involved in both sports.

We thank Football Victoria for their cooperation in formulating this framework.”
