Bendigo City FC denied team in Victorian Women's Community Premier League

The club in Central Victoria says it has been denied the opportunity to field female teams in the state's community premier league competition — and it's "not acceptable".
The article from ABC News discusses the plight of Bendigo City FC, a women's soccer team in Victoria, Australia, which has been left without a team to play against in the Women's Community Premier League (WCPL) following the withdrawal of several clubs. This situation has arisen due to a lack of player numbers and financial constraints, leading to the folding of teams like Ballarat City FC and Gippsland Warriors. As a result, Bendigo City FC, despite having a strong squad and ambitions to compete at a higher level, now faces the possibility of not playing any competitive matches in the upcoming season. The club's president, Lisa Cooper, expressed frustration over the lack of communication from Football Victoria regarding the league's future, highlighting the broader issues of sustainability and support for women's soccer in regional areas. The article also touches on the potential for a new competition format or the inclusion of teams from other leagues to ensure the season can proceed.
