Football Victoria (FV) can confirm that Oakleigh Cannons FC has been granted a player exemption for Lewis Italiano to be eligible to play in Sunday’s 2022 Senol NPL Victoria Men’s Final, South Melbourne FC vs Oakleigh Cannons FC.
The exemption has been granted in accordance with our 2022 Rules of Competition - NPL Men’s & Boys, Registration Regulations 2022 and the National Registration Status and Transfer Regulations.
FV has reviewed the relevant information and granted this exemption strictly on the basis that Oakleigh Cannons FC does not have an age eligible registered goalkeeper available for the above fixture, therefore the club can add player Lewis Italiano to their roster for this week’s fixture.
We appreciate the passion our community has for football and hope you bring it to the games this weekend. However, a reminder that while constructive feedback and debate is welcomed, we will not tolerate abuse directed at anyone in our community, in any format, including online.
FV would like to take the opportunity to wish both teams the best of luck for this weekend’s final.
