Save Canberra United

💚 YOU HELPED SAVE CANBERRA UNITED 💚

Last season, the Canberra community came together in an incredible show of support - raising approximately $85,000 through the Save Canberra United campaign and securing an additional $250,000 in government funding.

Here’s where your support made a real impact:
✨ Two elite ice baths purchased to help players recover and perform at their best
✨ Player salaries covered for the final two months of the campaign

Without you, this team wouldn’t have been possible. Together, we didn’t just save Canberra United, we built the foundation for Canberra Women’s Football, a not-for-profit dedicated to ensuring women’s football thrives in our region.

⚽ Follow & support us as we continue building the future of women’s football in Canberra.

Excited for the 2025 summer yet?!

We can't wait to see what the 2025–26 season has in store!
But first, let’s take a trip down memory lane with a few moments from our A-Leagues team, Canberra United Football Club 💚⚽

The Matildas' return to Canberra was a momentous occasion!

After three years away, they strode onto the pitch at GIO Stadium to face Argentina, marking an exciting step in their journey toward the AFC Women's Asian Cup.

For us fans, it was a thrilling chance to see them in action once again!

Beyond the game itself, the event was a powerful celebration of women's football, bringing our Green Family together in full force. The hope now is that this momentum translates into even greater support for Canberra United now and in the future!

💚 Thank You, Canberra United Family 💚

As Season 17 comes to a close, we at Canberra Women’s Football want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible Canberra United supporters, fans, and community who have stood by us every step of the way.

Your unwavering support — from packing the stands to passionately campaigning and donating — has been the driving force behind securing the future of our club. Thanks to you, Season 17 was not just played, but celebrated as we fought our way up the ladder to get back into finals contention.

The numbers don't lie, football and women are not getting equal funding no matter which way you slice the pie.

➡ SWIPE FOR MORE INSIGHTS

1️⃣ Comparing the ACT Government's funding for Canberra sports clubs reveals significant disparities. Cricket, through Andrew Barr’s proposed Big Bash League (BBL) team, is set to receive $3 million in establishment funding, while AFL, represented by a non-local team, receives substantial ongoing support. Meanwhile, Canberra United and the Canberra Capitals—key drivers of women's sport—receive considerably less. This raises questions about the fairness of funding, especially when local teams are underfunded.

2️⃣ When looking at funding per game, the GWS Giants, despite not being a local team, receive far more per game than any local team. Canberra United and the Canberra Capitals, receive much less. This stark imbalance needs to be addressed to ensure equity between Canberra’s male and female athletes.

3️⃣ The funding disparity for games played in Canberra is also clear. The GWS Giants receive more per game than local teams, while Canberra United and the Canberra Capitals, which represent the city in national women's leagues, receive minimal support in comparison.

4️⃣ Women’s teams, such as Canberra United and the Canberra Capitals, play the majority of all home games in the ACT, yet receive significantly less funding than men’s teams. While women’s teams in the ACT provide significant value to culture and tourism in the region through more games played in Canberra than men’s teams, their funding per game remains disproportionately low, reflecting a larger issue of inequity.

5️⃣ Finally, comparing national participation rates with ACT Government funding reveals a stark contrast: football/soccer has the highest participation rate in Australia but remains one of the least funded sports in the ACT. In contrast, sports like cricket and AFL, with lower participation rates, receive far more funding. This disparity underscores the need for urgent reform in funding distribution to better support football, which engages a large portion of the community but is significantly underfunded.
