Update on Federal Court Hearing
Friday 29 August 2025
Western United Football Club is pleased to advise that an application made this afternoon to stay the Court’s orders was successful. The winding up has been stayed pending an application to review the Court’s decision substantively and once that application is made next week, the stay will operate until the appeal is heard.
We all know what our football club and broader project means to all our members and the community. The social impact Western United has had in the West of Melbourne has been profound. It is something we are immensely proud of and want to continue.
The West of Melbourne is one of the fastest growing communities in Australia and we remain committed to facilitating the community’s pathway for young boys and girls to use sport to dream big and fulfill their dreams. We are grateful for the community’s ongoing support in this matter.
Western United is doing everything we can to continue our dream. We will continue to engage with the ATO and our sports & community stakeholders to have our licence renewed or reinstated.
The Club will be making no further comment at this time.
