Welcome to FC Birrarung

UPDATED 14 SEPTEMBER 2021

Unfortunately the remainder of football season 2021 has now been cancelled. We were blessed with 10 sunny Sundays for the first half of the season and it was great that we could at least get a solid pre-season and some competitive football played ahead of the current lockdown.  

The FCB coaching brains trust is planning a big summer of football activities for when the current restrictions are lifted. We will aim to make these activities as affordable as possible. Stay tuned for more details as we get greater visibility on easing of restrictions.

In light of the shortened season, FCB is offering a part-refund of 2021 fees–$100 for MiniRoos and $120 for Junior players. Pups will be refunded for the 3rd term. If you would like to request the part refund please email to our club’s treasurer, treasurer@fcbirrarung.com, including player name, birth date, player Id and include Bank Account Number, Name and BSB. Please lodge your claim before 15-Oct-2021.

Thank you all for participating in the 2021 season. It was great to see our community bounce back so strongly this year and we are sure we will bounce back again soon.

Kind Regards,

FC Birrarung Committee

UPDATED 9 JULY 2021

Some restrictions have been eased we are excited to welcome spectators back to Princes Park! The canteen will reopen this Sunday 11 July.

Training and competition remains conditional. All Government health advice, conditions and restrictions must be complied with. Football Victoria also has a set of conditions that must be complied with.

It is important that our playing community understand these conditions so please read the following information, share it with your families, including children who are playing with Birrarung. All of the requirements for training and matches must be complied with.

Ways you can support our great club

Like many community sporting clubs, Covid-19 caused significant financial strain for FC Birrarung and the committee continues to do everything we can to minimise the damage and continue to provide opportunities for girls and boys to play and train.

We have set up a fundraising appeal to help the club bounce back strongly from the impact of Covid and funds raised will be used for:

  • programs to encourage girls participation
  • sponsorships for financially disadvantaged players
  • programs to encourage the participation of junior players
  • the purchase of much-needed equipment

Through the club’s fundraising partnership with The Australian Sports Foundation, donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.

So please show your support for the club by donating today!
