Australian Federal Government Funding Assistance

On Saturday the 18th May 2013 the Honourable Senator Kate Lundy, accompanied by the Honourable Anthony Albanese, visited our Fraser Park football complex to announce a special funding grant of two million dollars for the Club to build a new grandstand and upgrade facilities. The day will be remembered as one of the greatest days in our Club’s proud history.
An upgraded Fraser Park venue will provide opportunities for the younger generation to develop their sporting skills and provide a family friendly social environment for the community. The immediate focus is the replacement of the old grandstand with a new structure capable of accommodating 1,000 spectators. The construction is expected to start on the 23rd August 2013 and take 26 weeks to complete. The Grandstand should be officially opened around March 2014, in time for the 2014 football season.
Expected benefits to Fraser Park Football Club and the broader Marrickville district include:

Provide badly needed sporting facilities for organised sport
Safe and comfortable accommodation for watching sporting events
Ability to attract and host major sporting events
Suitable venue for visiting football teams from within Australia and overseas. In particular team participating in the 2015 Asia Cup.
Compliance with NSW FA football ground requirements (Grade-A accreditation) to enable participation of Fraser park Football Club teams in a higher standard of football competition
Venue for school sporting activities

The construction of the grandstand is an integral part of the Sydney Portugal Community Club vision and strategy for the Fraser Park complex. Futsal Courts have been recently opened to provide an opportunity for youth in the area to enjoy world class sporting facilities and the new grandstand is an important next stage.

David Perkovic’s first game as head coach in Manila

Thu, 14 Mar 2013 05:54:00 GMT

ONBOARD the Qantas flight inbound from Sydney to Manila, David Perkovic's mind was ablaze with thought.

The flight to Manila takes eight hours for the 31-year-old Australian who had just recently resigned from Fraser Park FC (playing in the New South Wales Super League where it plays currently) to coach Kaya in the United Football League.

Fraser Park FC had given him his first professional coaching job and it was a difficult decision to leave as the club is rising in Australian football. While at the new South Wales side, he had former Philippine international player Leigh Gunn, the first Filipino of foreign descent to play for the national team. And there was Masanari Omura, who currently plays as a midfielder/defender for Kaya. But the opportunity to coach abroad, one of the things on his bucket list, was too great an opportunity to pass up. "I know nothing about the UFL or even Philippine football," admitted Perkovic in his first interview on Philippine soil at the Emperador Stadium last Saturday night. "I had done a fair amount of traveling—Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand—but never in the Philippines. Sometimes, it is good to step out of your comfort zone."

When Omura reconnected to intimate him about the coaching vacancy with Kaya, Perkovic mulled it over. "It wasn't an easy decision," said the AFC B-licensed coach. "Any time there's change, you look at all the possible angles. But I am always interested in new opportunities. I try not to make rash judgments of things. I prefer to assess the situation before making a decision. At the same time, it's a good test for myself, especially in a different culture."

Eventually, Perkovic agreed to come to Manila and is now the seventh head coach of Kaya Football Club history (after Rudy del Rosario, Mikey Carrion, Hans Smit, Juan Cutillas, Kale Alvarez and Maor Rozen).

It's a storied Philippine club Perkovic is joining. Almost everyone who's a somebody in local football has played with the club at one time or another. Kaya alums have formed other clubs from Union to the Philippine Homeless World Cup Team to Pachanga.

It is also a good match for Perkovic, who has made a name for himself as a workaholic. While inbound to Manila, he jotted down notes on what he needed: scouting reports, the transfer window, what sort of players he had, possible tactics and more. "I had my iPod on airplane mode and just wrote down lots of stuff," recounted the coach, who is currently completing his master's degree in Sports Coaching at the University of Sydney.
The Australian coach hit the ground running exactly at 6 p.m. at the Naia. He dumped his luggage in his new digs at swanky BGC, then dashed off with Kaya team manager Justin Tolentino to catch the match between Army and Green Archers United at the Emperador Stadium.

In three days' time, Kaya will play Army. His new club is currently at sixth place in the UFL's Division One standings, while Army is languishing at the cellar. He watches Army tie up Archers in a thrilling and eventful 1-1 draw.

After taking in a short interview, he buckled down to work as he took down notes and asked questions about both sides playing. He picked out a few players with obvious skill and asked more questions about them. He's on work mode.

As a player in Australia, Perkovic was a No. 10. The playmaker. Hence, his affinity for players like Diego Maradona, Roberto Baggio and Lionel Messi. He currently follows Xavi Hernandez and, obviously is a fan of Barcelona.

That infers he opts for possession-based football. "I have ideas on what system to play but I always look into what I have at my disposal. Then I'll build on that. But my teams always play with good tactics, play possession football with a dynamic attack."
Perkovic was pleased that several of his new players—Chris Greatwich, Toshi Hosoe and Omura—were on hand to meet him and help him settle down.

"On my way here [to the Emperador Stadium], I could see the area where I am to staying and where Kaya, the UFL, plays. I began to get really excited."
The new journey has begun.

To the Board, Staff, Players and Fans of Fraser Park,

To the Board, Staff, Players and Fans of Fraser Park,

Its with a heavy heart that i announce my resignation of this fantastic up and coming football club, i have been given an opportunity to achieve a goal of mine which is to coach professionally abroad.

I will be forever in debt to the club that gave me the first opportunity to coach first grade football over a year and a half ago, it is because of that opportunity that i have been given a new opportunity to coach in the United Football League in the Philippines. I believe that i am leaving the club in a better position than when i arrived and i wish continued growth and success for the first grade team and the rest of the club in 2013 and beyond. Thank you to the board and staff for all the support in my time at the club, and a big thank you to all the players i have coached whilst my time at the club, your efforts in turning this great club around into a better future is greatly appreciated. To the current players; i believe this squad can achieve great outcomes in 2013 under the guidance with your new coach Albin Mikulski.

Good luck and Viva Fraser Park Football Club,

Thank you,

David Perkovic
