Victorian Lockdown from 8pm Tonight


With the Victorian Government announcing that the state will enter lockdown from 8pm tonight, August 5th, for seven days due to the COVID pandemic, all community football matches, training and Auskick will not be permitted to take place during this time, as per State Government restrictions.

The health and safety of the community remains the highest priority of the EDFL.

Should clubs decide to go ahead with training tonight please adhere closely to government regulations that are in place and be sure to be out of training venues and back at your place of residence before the deadline of 8pm.

The EDFL and AFL Victoria will continue to work closely with the Victorian Government and will be guided by advice from the government and health authorities.

Football is such an important part of so many lives and communities across Victoria, and we want to see footy back as soon as possible. 

Clubs and key stakeholders will be updated with any new information regarding restrictions and protocols for community football, when available.
