CLUB STATEMENT

 
SOUTH FREMANTLE FOOTBALL CLUB STATEMENT

The South Fremantle Football Club is disappointed to find ourselves in a position to receive WAFC sanctions in relation to TPP matters stemming from the 2021 WAFL season.

We understand and completely accept that the upholding of the rules and regulations, particularly those around salary cap and equalisation, are paramount to the integrity and fairness of our great competition.


Our mistakes in relation to this matter were in no way deliberate, an opinion directly reinforced by the West Australian Football Commission. 

They were administration errors that will not reoccur, and we apologise unconditionally to all stakeholders with a commitment to ensure this never happens again. 

Although notably severe, we accept all sanctions imposed upon us. Since the breach, the Club has ensured that improved administration procedures have been put in place to allow full confidence across the business that these errors won’t take place again.

Furthermore, the Club has taken steps to enhance and strengthen our TPP and other football compliance responsibilities.

We pride ourselves, our brand and our 123-year history in the WAFL competition on always acting fairly & equitably, despite being fiercely competitive. 

All media enquiries are to be made direct to SFFC CEO, Cameron Britt - 9335 1555
