In the wake of a monumental year for Australian football with the success of the CommBank Matildas and CommBank Socceroos on the world stage, now, more than ever, Australians are set to be inspired to play football.

Football Australia has launched its 2026 Play Football campaign, which aims to connect not only players of all ages and backgrounds to their local football team, but also encourage coaches, referees and volunteers to join their local club.

The campaign has been launched as Australia’s football stars prepare to embark on another landmark year of football, headlined by the CommBank Matildas set to host the best teams in Asia on home soil during the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™, and the CommBank Socceroos heading to their sixth FIFA World Cup in a row when they head to the FIFA World Cup 26™ in June.

With over one and a half million Australians involved in football across the nation, it is the number one team participation sport in the country and continues to grow. Football proudly stands as the most diverse and inclusive sport in the country, catering to all regardless of ability, age, gender, race or religion.
