Senior Men’s State League News

Fawkner Soccer Club statement.

FAWKNER SC — OFFICIAL CLUB STATEMENT

12 June 2026

Fawkner Soccer Club is aware of recent public commentary and speculation about our Senior Men's program. We're issuing this statement to set the record straight.

The Senior Men's program has not folded. The team continues in season 2026, currently sits top of State League 3 North West, and takes the field this Saturday 13 June against Dallas City — a match we're very much looking forward to.

In recent weeks the Club met with Senior Men's management and made a number of difficult decisions. These were not taken lightly.

Each was made to protect the stability, sustainability and long-term future of Fawkner SC — the job of any responsible committee.

To be clear:
- No player or official was asked to leave the Club.
- Every player who requested a clearance was granted one within a reasonable timeframe.
- The players and staff who have moved on did so of their own volition. We thank them sincerely for their contribution and wish them every success in the future.

We also thank Kevin Theuma for his efforts with the Senior Men and wish him all the best.

The Club won't be responding to anonymous claims point by point. Our focus is exactly where it should be — on our players, our members, our families, and the football in front of us.

To everyone who backs this club: thank you. Get down to the ground on Saturday and get behind the team.

Go Fawkner.

We reach the half way point of the year with some interesting developments.

State 3 NW has been thrown wide open with 6 sides going to battle for promotion.

All the way down to 7th spot Epping City FC are 5 points off top.

We have had multiple instances in the past couple of weeks with dissatisfaction amongst the community of certain clubs being able to bypass rules that have been set.

We received this from one of our members and won’t name clubs or situations but it’s causing angst across State Leagues and VPL.

“The integrity of our game is up to who’s discretion?

The word discretion in our rule book leaves cans of worms open and dissatisfaction amongst our community rules are either black or white.

Clubs who release players at our elite level due to disciplinary reasons are allowed to get immunity to sign and replenish their squads. Those same players are then allowed to sign for opposition clubs.

Whilst other teams with long term injuries are required to suffer or dip into underage teams to make up the numbers.

Serious problems with the administration programs set in place also bring things to the fore. It’s halfway through the season and we still haven’t got it right.

You set the standards and the rules then move the goalposts when things get hard I guess that’s up to your discretion football Victoria”

Round 10 we are approaching and some leagues are taking shape whilst others are still extremely close.

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK

We invite you to recognize outstanding individuals in the comments section below.

As National Volunteer Week draws to a close, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for the invaluable contributions made by volunteers behind the scenes at our clubs.

Volunteers are the cornerstone of our clubs, dedicating countless hours to early mornings, late nights, canteen duties, team management, training support, match day preparations, committee work, and various other responsibilities that often go unnoticed.

Local football clubs thrive due to the selflessness of individuals who willingly devote their time to benefit players, families, and the broader community.

To every volunteer throughout the football community, we extend our deepest gratitude for your unwavering commitment, passion, and support.

This is pure and undeniably passion from the clip below.

This is the 4th tier of English football.

We stand with all clubs, even though we have a vested interest in State league clubs, but the decions from Football Australia in relation to Heidelberg United Alexander FC, South Melbourne FC and all NPL clubs is bewiderring to say the least.

If you have clubs with no ambition then what are we playing for?

Football exists outside of the A-Leagues and to rip away the soul of clubs to further your own agenda, is not what we stand for.

Spread the word and share far and wide that, community clubs, which include NPL clubs, deserve greater respect than what has been shown.

This kid doesnt mind that its not the ~English Premier ~League.
"Its the club that runs through his veins"
