Additional funding will be provided to Canberra United ahead of the 2023-24 A-League Women’s season

Canberra United will receive a funding boost as they prepare for the launch of the 2023-24 A-League Women’s season.

An additional $125,000 per year will be provided to Capital Football, increasing the performance partnership fee to $250,000 per year for the remaining two years of the current agreement.

The funding boost comes following recent changes to the A-League Women competition, including the addition of new teams, more home and away matches and increases to minimum competition standards.

The ACT Government has a well-established partnership with Canberra United and is proud to increase its contribution to the sport.

In another boost for football in Canberra, the Estate Development Plan Development Application (DA) for Throsby Home of Football has been approved.

The Throsby Home of Football facility will include multiple outdoor football fields, indoor futsal courts, office space for Capital Football staff and associated amenities.

It has been designed to support a range of community and high-performance programs for Capital Football and its affiliated clubs and provide valuable open space for the community to enjoy.

More information on the project can be found on the YourSay website: yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/throsby-football
