Eltham Central Park and La Trobe University will host the Northern Football League women’s finals series.
The league announced the venues of the three divisions last week.
All the lead-up finals matches will take place at Tony Sheehan ovals one and two at Bundoora’s La Trobe campus, which is also home to the league.
There will be four weeks of finals in the women’s competition with each division having a top five.
The grand finals will be held at Eltham Central Park on August 24, having previously been held at Preston City Oval. The league has already announced that it won’t play men’s finals at Preston City Oval this year.
League chief executive Martin Stillman expressed enthusiasm about the league’s ongoing relationship with La Trobe University.
“We’re thrilled to announce our women’s finals series will be played at one of the best football facilities in Melbourne,” he said.
“The league has been working towards games being played at La Trobe University for some time and now the NFNL will host our lead-up finals series games at these two fantastic grounds.
“As announced recently all lead-up games will be free of charge, allowing our community to get behind their teams in a vibrant final’s atmosphere.”
Stillman said the league was also proud to stage the women’s grand finals at one of the premier venues in the league.
“To culminate the 2025 NFNL Women’s season, grand finals will be played at Eltham Central Park, which is a first for our women’s program,” he said.
“Eltham is one of our premier facilities in the NFNL and will provide a fitting stage to cap off what promises to be a tremendous day of women’s football.”
Among the teams in finals contention is South Morang in division 2 and Whittlesea in division 3.
