Old Xaverians Football Club

What Old Xaverians Football Club does

Old Xaverians Football Club (OXFC) is an amateur Australian rules football club founded in 1898 and based in Armadale, Victoria, Australia. The club competes in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) across multiple divisions including seniors, U19, U23, and thirds, and also runs a netball program. Its primary customer segments are male footballers ranging from U19 juniors through seniors, with secondary stakeholder groups being families/supporters and corporate partners. The club draws on a deep-rooted Xavier College alumni pipeline, reflected in its "A Century of the Red & Black" heritage and its partnership with the Old Xaverians Association.

The club's product portfolio centers on football participation, supplemented by a Player Wellbeing Program (covering employment, education, mental health, gambling, financial matters, and personal relationships), a dedicated OXFC Job Portal operated in partnership with recruitment firm Bayside Group, the Game Changers seminar series, and an Information Exchange wellbeing directory. Technology infrastructure is minimal and undifferentiated: a standard club website (oldxavs.com.au), the MemberJungle membership portal (oxfc.memberjungle.com), and a social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and a Memories.net timeline. No proprietary software, mobile app, API, or data assets exist.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership subscriptions processed via MemberJungle, tiered corporate sponsorships (Platinum, Gold, Bronze) with approximately 30 named partners including Salter Brothers, Bowens, Honan Capital, Wingate, and Australian Venue Co., and tax-deductible donations collected through the OXFC Foundation, which is registered with the Australian Sports Foundation. The club is a private, member-owned, community-run entity with no venture capital, private equity, or external investor ownership, governed by a volunteer committee structure of roughly 11 staff and serving the Melbourne metropolitan amateur football market exclusively.
