The safe, simple and skillful game of football unites Australians like no other sport.

More people play football than any other team sport, in numbers that’s 2.18m Australians. There are more players, more teams and more clubs in more suburbs across the land.

The game is woven into the fabric of our society, across age, gender, culture, religion or geography.

The Hyundai A-League is the ultimate expression of the passion, excitement and belonging that is unique to football.

The colours are your colours. The triumphs are yours to share in euphoria with true believers. The defeats, the bitter defeats, form the unbreakable bonds between fans and team.

If you love the game, you’ve gotta have a team.

There’s a place in your football heart that’s longing to be filled.

You might love a team in Europe or Asia and a team in your suburb, but there’s a place for you to have an A-League team. But which one?

If football gets your pulse racing, and it does for more than two million Australians, it’s time to make your football heartbeat that much stronger.

If you already have a team, then we encourage you to get your family and friends to support a team.
