Two regional soccer teams have been approved to play in the Community Premier League (CPL) junior girls’ competition, reversing an initial knockback by Football Victoria.
The football governing body originally barred Bendigo Football Club and Albury-Wodonga’s Murray United FC from taking part in the competition, citing a large number of applications.
But the ABC understands the two regional clubs have now been told they can compete in the competition, giving young female players pathways to play in premier leagues.
