NSW Football clubs score in recent Community Building Partnership Grants
Football across NSW is set to benefit from a major funding boost with over 30 Football NSW affiliated clubs sharing in the NSW Government’s 2025 Community Building Partnership (CBP) grants.
This program awards grants for community infrastructure projects that deliver positive social, environmental and recreational outcomes while also promoting community participation, inclusion and cohesion.
The funding will be used by clubs to upgrade facilities, improve playing surfaces, and create more inclusive environments for players, volunteers, and supporters.
From the Far North Coast to the South Coast, these projects will strengthen local clubs and the communities they serve.
“Football NSW is delighted so many football clubs will benefit from this funding,” said Football NSW’s Group Head of Strategic Partnerships & Corporate Affairs Helen Armson.
“These successful applications reflect a strong commitment by our clubs to not only grow the game, but also create welcoming, inclusive spaces where players, families and supporters can thrive.
“These upgrades and improvements will help ensure members can enjoy their football experience in safer, more accessible and more enjoyable environments.
“We look forward to seeing the positive impact these projects will have across our membership.”
Football NSW’s Venue & Facilities Manager at Valentine Sports Park Claudia Meek was pleased with their own success in the 2025 round.
“Providing free drinking fountains and refillable water stations on site will assist our players, officials and spectators to encourage hydration and support positive health benefits relating to fitness and inclusive sports activity along with supporting environmental initiatives to reduce single use plastic.
“With over 120,000 people visiting our site every year we are grateful to the NSW Government for providing an opportunity to obtain funding to further benefit our facility and its visitors .”
With more than 350,000 registered football participants across NSW, the upgrades at local clubs will have a lasting impact for thousands of players, volunteers, and supporters.
