Dockerty Cup 2022 Finals format

Football Victoria (FV) can provide an update on the Finals structure for the 2022 Dockerty Cup.

Given that the Australia Cup qualifying rounds serve as the Dockerty Cup qualifying rounds - and Football Australia have allocated FV with a fifth position in the Australia Cup Round of 32 - a solution was needed to realign the five teams into two semi-final ties.

As a result, FV have now confirmed the Competitions Structure for the 2022 Dockerty Cup Final.
