Female Football Week

Female Football Week is a nationwide initiative to celebrate the immense growth of women’s football at all levels of the game and acknowledge and promote the important role women play in developing football.

The objective of Female Football Week is to drive female participation at all levels of the game.

It is the ideal time for clubs to celebrate existing players and to look to recruit more players and female club volunteers for the upcoming season.

Clubs will receive FFW updates, have the activity promoted on the Capital Football website and receive FFW advertising collateral. By registering you will receive extra exposure!

Female Football Week will take place from Friday 8 May to Sunday 17 May 2026.

Throughout the week Football Australia, Capital Football and our Clubs will be actively involved in the delivery of a wide range of events.
