A NEW ERA OF SPORT IN MELBOURNE’S WEST

As we get set for Round 1 what better time to recognise  a pivotal moment in our history as we now become the Western Football Netball League. The integration of netball signifies more than just a change in name; it symbolises our commitment to progress and inclusivity. Whilst honouring our rich history, we embrace the evolution and transformation of our league into the future.

Netball’s prominence within our league cannot be overstated. With its growing popularity and participation rates, netball plays a significant role in our region and we are committed to develop and nurture the sport alongside football, ensuring equal opportunities for all participants.

At the heart of the WFNL lies a commitment to fostering community and social connections. We provide safe and inclusive environments where individuals can thrive. Our league prioritises the health and wellbeing outcomes of our community, recognising the power of sport in enhancing overall wellness and connection.

Our new brand is passionate, dedicated, connected and fierce. We are committed to raising the bar high —both on and off the field/court—and relentlessly pursue excellence. Our values—Integrity, Progressive, Engagement, Commitment—remain at the forefront of our identity, guiding us through this transformative process.

The WFNL embodies the spirit of teamwork, determination, and resilience, inspiring all members of our community to shape the future of sport in Melbourne’s West and beyond.
