Champion Club Program
What is the Program?
The Champion Club Program, developed by WA Football, provides local clubs with a framework to enhance their governance and club development practices. By meeting key requirements, your club will stand out as a leader in the football community and have the potential to attract new players, officials, and sponsors.
Why Join?
Build strong governance to future-proof your club, meet key compliance standards, create a safe and sustainable environment, attract players, members, volunteers and sponsors, and strengthen your reputation within the community.
Foundation Level
The Foundation Level establishes the minimum standard for effective club administration, acknowledging clubs that uphold solid governance and operational success. The Foundation Champion Club Stamp is awarded to clubs that meet these fundamental standards.
