2019 NPL Season kicks off with community shield

The 2019 season kicks off with the FV Community Shield at ABD Stadium.

Heidelberg United will take on Bentleigh Greens for what promises to be a great game.
In 2018 Heidelberg met once more with the Greens, winning by 4-1.

The FFV Community Shield was first announced on 27 January 2015 and would be played on 13 February later that year.

It also was held in support of World Vision’s One Goal program, which aims to leverage the power of football to tackle malnutrition in Asia and Australia.

The inaugural Community Shield was won by South Melbourne 2-1 over Melbourne Knights.
