Launching: SFA | Street Football Australia

It's finally that day, SFA | Street Football Australia can finally be launched. This project has been in the works for years, and believe me it's more than worth the wait.

‍

So What is SFA?

Let's make it extremely simple. SFA is the governing body for elite Street Football in Australia. This constitutes the sports of 3X3, 2X2, and X1, with some Street Futsal thrown in on occasion. There has never been a governing body for our sport in Australia, which has led to a lack of direction. There are "Street Teams" in Australia, however they're all social based, and for those who had to leave the sport to find a competitive scene such as my club SSC, they can now finally have a home which creates a pro-level pathway. SFA is exactly that, a pathway generator for those who want to take our sport seriously, no more of this social gameplay, it's time to build teams to compete.

‍

How This All Works?

As you should have noticed by now, we have monthly invitational events where teams compete in a group stage and knockout bracket tournament. The invitation only status is to ensure quality, this will stay for the foreseeable future. In these tournaments, how you place is extremely important as Street Football Australia has a running league system with a ranking system similar to tennis. If you place high you'll generate more ranking points and will accrue a higher ranking throughout the year. To maintain a genuinely fair playing ground, teams will soon be locked into a squad of 6 which they are only able to add or remove players through a transfer window set twice a year with those dates very soon to be announced.

Why We'll be The Worlds Best Street Football League / Association

We pride ourselves on continually improving and upgrading each and every event, and unlike anywhere else in the world, we have a proper league system all set up and ready to go. We don't do one off events, we run them 12 times a year at the absolute minimum, while also setting up pop-up matches on the sides to continue to grow the sport. At this stage we already have match footage released to the highest standard I've seen in Street Football, with complete branding and purpose built out, creating/expanding the identities of the clubs who have trusted our vision and joined the experience. We understand the value in building clubs alongside our association, ensuring the highest quality possible for all involved. In a world where Street Footballers only care about cheap and lazy quick post self promotion on social media, we are a breath of fresh air.

How to Join?

This is the fun part. To join you need to prove you belong. You need to ensure the high quality of your club to be able to maintain your place if even accepted. You have to apply to join on the SFA | Street Football Australia website, which you'll have the option to join with your approved pre-existing club, or take the route of setting up shop as one of SSC's franchise clubs, which comes with branding and management support running as a rolling release, keeping your new team up to the bleeding edge and ahead of the competition. Once approved you'll be able to join SFA and start to rise the ranks.
