Are you a Digital Marketing Specialist with more than two years’ experience, who wants to work in sport in Tassie? This is the role for you!
About us
Football Tasmania (FT) is the not-for-profit peak body charged by Football Australia with the responsibility of growing, developing and promoting the sport of football (soccer) throughout Tasmania.
With more than 38,000 participants across the State, football is the State’s most played team sport.
We’re a small team with a big mission – to ensure Tasmanians live a healthy, enjoyable and connected life through football. We work with Tasmania’s 32 clubs and junior associations to ensure that everyone can get involved in football, from under-5s to our top-flight men’s and women’s competitions.
We administer competitions from under 13s right through to the McDonald’s National Premier League and McDonald’s Women’s Super League. We also promote participation at all levels; develop talent; and work with clubs and associations to develop the sport and ensure they have the infrastructure they need to grow.
We are working towards creating regional hubs in the North and North-West, and a Home of Football in the State’s south, to provide much-needed facilities for all levels of the game – including one day our own A-League club.
