Gather Round to showcase female football in Gippsland

Gather Round to showcase female football in GippslandFemale Football Gippsland League will bring the spotlight to Traralgon Showgrounds this month, with the 2026 Latrobe Health Services Gather Round set to showcase the region’s women’s and girls’ football talent.
The Gather Round will be held on Sunday, May 24, with nine matches across one venue in a major celebration of female football in Gippsland.
Supported by Latrobe Health Services, the event will feature a full day of football across Terry Hunter Oval and Old Trafford Oval, bringing together players, clubs, families and supporters for one of the biggest female football events of the season.
Three women’s and girls’ feature matches will be played on Terry Hunter Oval from 10am, while Old Trafford Oval will host five Youth Girls matches from 9:30am.
The event forms part of the Gippsland League’s ongoing commitment to growing female football opportunities across the region, following Female Football Gippsland’s transition under the Gippsland League banner in 2026.
Gippsland League General Manager Daniel Heathcote said the Gather Round was an important opportunity to bring the competition together and celebrate female football in Gippsland.
“The Gather Round concept is one we are pleased to continue and look forward to building on, it is a fantastic chance to showcase the strength of female football in Gippsland,” Heathcote said.
“Having nine matches at one venue creates a great atmosphere for players, families, clubs and supporters, and we’re excited to work with Latrobe Health Services to deliver an event that recognises the role female football continues to play across our region.”
The day will highlight both the women’s competition and the Youth Girls pathway, with clubs from across Gippsland coming together in a central venue format.
The Gippsland League thanks Latrobe Health Services for its support of the Gather Round and its contribution to promoting community sport and participation across the region.
More information, including the full match schedule, will be available via the Female Football Gippsland League website and social media channels.
