The VAFA has determined section structures for the 2024 season for the Men’s Premier competition and Men’s Divisional competition.
A determination and recommendation from the VAFA Board, as well as the VAFA Football Sub-Committee to use its discretion to vary the promotion and relegation procedure enshrined in the VAFA Rules to ensure all Men’s Premier and Men’s Divisional competitions contain at least 10 teams in season 2024.

The VAFA is aware that variation of opponents and playing venues is important to a positive playing and club experience across the season.
Fixturing for all competitions will commence in mid-November with the aim to complete as many fixtures as possible prior to the end of the year.
