The 2020 NPL/NPLW Victoria seasons kick off in February & March with the annual FV Community Shield matches.
The Community Shield is FV’s curtain-raiser to each NPL season. As part of Football Victoria's support for those impacted by Victoria’s savage bushfires, both matches are dedicated to raising funds for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.
In the men’s match, 2019 NPL Victoria Champions Bentleigh Greens SC will take on 2019 Dockerty Cup holders Hume City FC on Saturday, February 8, 2020, at 5.00pm.
The women’s match will see 2019 Nike F.C. Cup winners Calder United FC face NPLW Victoria Runners-Up FC Bulleen Lions on Friday, March 13, 2020 at 7.45pm.
Both matches will be played at City Vista Reserve, the new home of Caroline Springs George Cross FC, in City Vista Rd, Fraser Rise, near Taylors Hill in Melbourne’s north west.
