Austrialia's 20 Year Plan for Football ....
More than 20,000 people joined an online survey, hundreds attended 13 community forums and the game’s leaders and key commercial partners provided individual feedback.
Speaking at WOFP launch in Sydney, Football Federation Australia Chairman Frank Lowy AC acclaimed the unity of purpose behind the plan.
“Ten years ago at the outset of Football’s new beginning, publishing a Whole of Football Plan for the decades ahead would have appeared premature and overly optimistic,” said Lowy. “We first had to rebuild the foundations and restore credibility to our game.
“Today, much hard work has brought us to the point where we have the unity and sense of destiny that means the time is right to think big. There are millions whose lives are enriched by Football and we owe it to them to fulfil the game’s great promise.”
FFA CEO David Gallop said the WOFP would provide the landmarks towards the strategic objective of becoming the largest and most popular sport in Australia.
“Football is on a mission to become the largest and most popular sport in Australia,” said Gallop. “It’s a bold idea, but now is the time for the Australian Football community to bring it to life.
“The Whole of Football Plan gives everyone in Football a long-term view of what the game needs to do in order to fulfil its potential and reach its destiny.”

Gallop also made the point that in developing this plan, Football has made a decision not to be limited by the game’s resources in 2015. “We have a firm conviction that Football’s best years are ahead of us,” said Gallop. “We know that growth will inevitably bring greater revenues and new incomes streams, enough to fund the future.”
