Football St George launches its 2021 season with highest number of registered players in history

FSG Directors, sponsors, Club committee members, players, coaches, referees and parents were on hand to celebrate the occasion.

FSG CEO Craig Kiely was excited for the season to start and thrilled with the game's growth in the region.

"The start of the grassroots season is always fun and to be able to confirm that registration numbers have now passed the 10,000 across the district is very special," he said.

"It is a historic moment for football in St George and is a credit to everyone involved in the game, both past and present.

"It is also no coincidence that the drive we have had to develop and improve football facilities in the district is now resulting in record numbers of participants in the game."

The Association reflected on the great work being done by its affiliated clubs and their volunteers in driving the game forward.

The Association also acknowledged the support received from both the State and Federal government in recent years and the Georges River and Bayside Councils' ongoing support.

FSG thanked Federal Member for Banks, David Coleman, State Member for Oatley, Mark Coure, George's River Council Mayor, Kevin Greene and Deputy Mayor, Stephen Agius, Bayside Council Deputy Mayor, James McDonald and Chadd Porter, Team Kit Australia/ Wholesale Trophies for attending the event.
