The Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) is announcing that The Amateur Footballer Record will conclude in its traditional format as the league continues its evolution toward a dynamic digital future.
As audiences’ information consumption continues to evolve, so too must the platforms that serve them.
In recent years, the VAFA has invested significant resources into upgrading its website and launching a dedicated VAFA mobile app. These initiatives form part of a broader media approach aimed at strengthening connections with the community and ensuring information is accessible, timely and easy to navigate.
Following a review of its operations, the VAFA determined that the resources required to produce The Amateur Footballer as a standalone weekly publication were no longer viable. As a result, the decision has been made to discontinue the record in its current format.
Importantly, the content that has long defined The Amateur Footballer won’t be lost. Instead, it will live on, more accessible than ever, through the VAFA’s digital platforms.
The VAFA community can continue to access the full suite of weekly coverage via the VAFA website and VAFA mobile app, including:
VAFA CEO Jason Reddick acknowledged the significance of the transition while reinforcing the organisation’s commitment to its community.
“Our VAFA team is committed to ensuring the VAFA community continues to have easy access to all the information they value through our enhanced digital platforms.”
As the VAFA looks ahead, the focus is clear: to deliver comprehensive, timely and engaging coverage in a way that reflects how the modern football community connects while honouring the enduring legacy of a publication that told its story for decades.
