AFL Vic to launch new hub for clubs

“We know clubs and leagues put a significant amount of work into administering player payments and meeting their requirements, so CLUB HUB is about looking at how we can make that process simpler and more efficient,” AFL Victoria head Greg Madigan said.

Select affiliated clubs and leagues, metropolitan and regional, will trial the program in 2027, with a focus on player declarations, budgeting, compliance monitoring and user experience.

Participating clubs will give feedback on the system in an effort to iron out the kinks and make the system ready for wider use.

AFL Victoria has indicated more information will be provided to clubs and leagues in the coming weeks.
