What does the FV Spectator Code of Behaviour say, and what happens to people who break it?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2026 FV Spectator Code ("No excuse for abuse") applies to each person present at an FV fixture. Among other things they must:

respect the decisions and instructions of the Match Officials and Ground Marshals;
not use physical or verbal abuse, bullying, discrimination or harassment, including obscene or offensive language or gestures and racist chanting;
not carry, light or throw flares or missiles;
not enter the Field of Play or its surrounds without lawful authority;
not display offensive banners or signs;
report discrimination or threatening behaviour to a Match Official, a Ground Marshal, or discipline@footballvictoria.com.au.

Any person who does not comply, or who in the opinion of the Club and/or FV causes, attempts to cause or is reasonably likely to cause a disturbance, may be evicted from the venue and banned from attending future matches held on behalf of FV.
