About
Scheduled to kick off in October 2025, the Australian Championship will feature 16 teams blending eight Foundation Clubs with eight Member Federation NPL Clubs selected from the National Premier Leagues (NPL).
This innovative format bridges state-based competitions with the Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s pathway, redefining Australian football’s domestic football ecosystem and creating new opportunities for players, clubs, and communities to shine.
The Foundation Clubs
The eight Foundation Clubs form the backbone of Australian football, built on rich histories, fierce rivalries and strong community ties.
From Victoria, 2023 dual champions and premiers Avondale FC feature as one of the fairytale clubs of the new competition. Founded over 40 years ago as Keilor I.C.K.A. from the Australian-Italian community, the club’s meteoric rise began in 2009, climbing from Victoria’s seventh division with five promotions in six seasons to reach the state’s top division, before eventually becoming champions. Avondale embodies the ambition and aspiration of the Australian Championship.
