Despite missing out on one of two A-League expansion licences offered by Football Federation Australia in 2018, Team 11, the City of Greater Dandenong and the South East Melbourne Group of Councils will continue to advocate for a boutique rectangular stadium to be built next to Dandenong Train Station. This is because the ground is seen to be a necessary piece of infrastructure in the south-east that will service demands well beyond just those of a professional football club. With its ease of access via both public transport and major road networks, this stadium would be the catalyst for major economic growth in the region. The facility would be capable of hosting football, rugby union and rugby league matches as well as concerts, festivals and other community events.

Dandenong is commonly referred to as the capital of the south-east and is the ideal location for the A-League side’s home ground. With existing football facilities all located within relatively close proximity to Melbourne’s CBD, the proposed Dandenong Stadium will address a major gap in the provision of stadia and top-tier professional teams in the south-east of Victoria. It will also cater for the region’s large and rapidly growing population.
