The latest audit of football participation in Australia shows that 1.96 million Australians are actively involved in the game as a player, coach or match official.

FFA CEO David Gallop said the latest figures shows that football is growing strongly at the community level and providing a vibrant base for the Hyundai A-League and Australia’s national teams.
