Football Victoria implements initial sanction following conduct of Preston Lions FC supporter group

>Football Victoria (FV) is providing the following update, regarding the conduct of a group of Preston Lions FC supporters before and during the South Melbourne FC v Preston Lions FC (PLFC) match on Saturday 18 July.

>The scenes that played out on Saturday were utterly disgraceful. Victorian football belongs to everyone who supports our game. It should never be diminished by a small minority who use football as a platform for vilification and FV will act decisively to protect the wider community.

>FV would like to thank members of the football community who have assisted by providing information to support our investigation. The response from the community has been invaluable in helping to establish the facts surrounding the incidents.

>While the investigation process is underway, FV is uncertain a safe, respectful and welcoming environment can be accommodated at PLFC fixtures. As a result and in accordance with the Advanced Rules of Competition, FV can confirm the following initial sanction:

>Initial match restrictions will apply to PLFC fixtures for the next two rounds of the 2026 NPL Victoria Men’s season:

>PLFC’s NPL Men’s home fixtures against Bentleigh Greens SC on July 24 and Green Gully SC on July 31, will be played behind closed doors, with no spectators permitted.

>As they precede the Senior Men’s fixtures, PLFC’s NPL Women’s match against Keilor Park on 24 July and the U23 Men’s match on July 31 will also be played as closed door games.

>The matter has also been referred to the independent Football Victoria Tribunal, which will determine whether any additional sanctions should be imposed on individuals and/or the club, which may include financial penalties, education and training, points deductions or match restrictions. 

>In addition, any further enforcement of FV’s Three Strike Policy remains under consideration, as the investigation continues. 

>As a staple of the Victorian football calendar and a match that belongs to all in the football community, the Dockerty Cup Final on Saturday 1 August will proceed with spectators. However, enhanced event controls will be implemented, including a reduced venue capacity with pre-purchased (online) tickets only - no tickets available at the gate.

>Additional security measures will also be implemented for the match to ensure the safety of all attendees, including an increased security presence, enhanced screening and significant surveillance measures.

>These are not measures FV wishes to impose. We recognise these restrictions will impact thousands of genuine football supporters who simply want to enjoy the games and support their clubs in a safe and enjoyable environment. Closing stadiums and limiting attendance is not how football should be experienced. 

>The overwhelming majority of people involved in Victorian football are passionate, respectful and inclusive. They deserve to participate in an environment that reflects those values, not one overshadowed by the actions of a small minority.

>FV also recognises that these restrictions are not a sustainable future for Victorian football. The time has come for those who continue to bring division into our game, to take ownership of their actions. If individuals cannot uphold the standards expected of our football community, they should step away from it.

Football VIC Statement following South Melbourne FC v Preston Lions FC match: "Football is not a platform for hatred, intimidation or vilification. Anyone who chooses to weaponise our game in that way is attacking everything that football stands for."

>Yet again, one of NPL Victoria's showcase fixtures has been overshadowed by the abhorrent actions of a small group of individuals whose behaviour has disgraced our game.

>The scenes that unfolded surrounding the NPL Victoria match between South Melbourne FC (SMFC) and Preston Lions FC (PLFC) on Saturday, in the PLFC supporter stand and on the march to the venue by a group of PLFC supporters, were deliberately intended to provoke, divide and inflame. These acts were disgraceful and the people who committed them deserve no place in our sporting community.

>These people are not football supporters. Football is not a platform for hatred, intimidation or vilification. Anyone who chooses to weaponise our game in that way is attacking everything that football stands for.

>Football Victoria (FV) will work with the relevant club stakeholders, Victoria Police and venue operators to identify those responsible and pursue every available sanction. We have also commenced a full investigation into all incidents arising from Saturday’s match in accordance with our competition regulations. That process will include consideration of any existing disciplinary sanctions that may be applicable.

>Our players, officials, clubs and their genuine supporters deserve better than what they witnessed on Saturday. If you come to football to spread hatred, incite division, intimidate others or undermine the safety and reputation of our game, you are not part of football. We will use every avenue available to identify you, hold you accountable and do everything within our power to ensure you are not welcome back.

>Anyone that would like to share information, photos or footage - specifically of the PLFC supporter stand and march to the stadium - is encouraged to contact discipline@footballvictoria.com.au
