How to Play Street Football in Australia
TLDR; Being an underground sport, Street Football is hard to understand for beginners. The best path forward for new or existing Street Footballers to play Street Football in Australia is to join any Street Football Australia (SFA) events, stay up to date on Contraband (SFA's Media House), and to follow the lead of Australia's best and most successful Street Football club; SYDNEY STREET CREW.

Street Football is notoriously complicated to get involved in worldwide. That's not by design, it's a niche and underground sport meaning it has much less resources than most other forms of Football and other major sports in general. Worldwide Street Football suffers from the "pick-up game problem" which essentially requires players/athletes to find an exact Instagram page and wait for a game to appear, then turn up. This is a major major issue, and an issue that Street Football Australia has solved.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

This one is very easy. All you have to do is go to Street Football Australia's media powerhouse Contraband and look at the events on the homepage or even click on the events option in the navigation bar of the website. This will show you the upcoming events, where they are, and how to apply to be a part. All you have to do to access Contraband is to search up Street Football Australia on any search engine, then click on news on the Street Football Australia site, that takes you straight to Contraband. That's the vast majority of the work done. You don't have to search endlessly for an Instagram page, we've made ourselves easy to find and access with a simple and very clear search engine query.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE A TEAM

This is where it gets exciting. Street Football Australia rewards the top tier of Street Football clubs and athletes in Australia. All you have to do is click on "Join the movement" in the footer of the desktop site, or the navigation bar on the mobile site on either of the Street Football Australia or Contraband websites. This takes you to an application form where you can apply for your club to become a part of the professional street football ecosystem. The Street Football Australia team will look through you application and decide if you meet the standards to be a part. If approved you receive the full backing of Street Football Australia, which includes exclusive event invites, a team profile page for your crew on the Contraband site, as well as very generous help with guidance, branding, and advice from the Street Football Australia team, as they are here to grow Street Football in Australia.

THE GOLD STANDARD

To look at what is achievable, all you have to do is look at SYDNEY STREET CREW. This is Australia's best and most successful Street Football Club, and by a massive distance. They have utilised Street Football Australia and Contraband to build their own empire. If you want to join SYDNEY STREET CREW all you have to do is contact them via the link on their website.
