Soccer, and why the address bar says football
Australians call this soccer, because "football" already means Australian rules in five states and rugby league in two. The page has always lived at /sport/football and moving it would break every link pointing at it, so the URL keeps the old word and the page uses the one people actually say.
It is also the most evenly spread code in the country — every capital, most regional centres, and clubs in suburbs where nothing else is recorded at all.
How this list was assembled
- One Overpass query per state, so a club's state is known by construction and never inferred.
- Anything that is ground rather than an organisation — a pitch, a court, a municipal pool — is dropped. 6,655 records did not survive that test.
- Records sharing a name within 250 m are merged as one venue, keeping the richer copy — 248 here.
- Each club is matched to the nearest named suburb inside its own state, capped by settlement size, or left unassigned.
- Nothing is ranked, weighted or promoted. No club can pay to move.
region = the query it came from (certain) suburb = nearest named place, same region, within cap rank = none

Questions people actually ask
- How many soccer clubs are there in Australia?
- 259 are recorded in OpenStreetMap as of 2026-07-29, spread across 7 states and territories. That is what the open map knows, not a census — a club nobody has added yet does not appear.
- Do these soccer clubs pay to be listed here?
- No. Sideline takes no money from any club and has no ranking to sell. Listings are ordered alphabetically or by distance, never by payment.
- Why do some entries have no phone number or website?
- 79 of the 259 have a website on record. The rest simply have not had one added to OpenStreetMap. A blank field here always means "not recorded", never "none" — and anyone can fix it at the source in about two minutes.
