Football Victoria (FV) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday, December 11 with the announcement of Chris Pehlivanis as the organisation's new CEO and the 2022 Financial Summary key topics.
Held at the State Football Centre at The Home of The Matildas, there was a strong attendance of Members and Life Members from the Victorian football community present.
A change in FV's financial year in 2022 meant the financials represented a 14-month period, rather than a standard 12. With the change now incorporated, future financial reports will be aligned with the calendar year (January to December). To view the 2022 Financial Report, click here.
