Football Victoria is the governing body for football (soccer) in Victoria, focused on inspiring people of all backgrounds to live and love the game.
“The feedback on those medals – being something that [players] have never seen before – is really exciting.”
– Natalie Pafralis, Football Victoria Program Co-Ordinator
A custom design for every event!
Football Victoria hosts several events each year. Below are just a few.
Why Badges And Medals?
Great adaptability
For Football Victoria, the right medal and trophy supplier had to move fast and adapt to last-minute changes, said program co-ordinator Natalie Pafralis.
“There’s definitely a lot of unknowns with events, and a lot of moving parts,” she said. Teams shift, new players join, and details need updating – often on the fly.
And they finally found someone who could meet their needs: Badges And Medals.
“We do a lot of medals. We have a lot of participants … I know that the team are really looking forward to having a supplier that can meet the demands we have.”
‘Super unique’ designs
Before working with Badges And Medals, Football Victoria struggled to find medals that were both well-crafted and original, Pafralis said.
But that changed the moment they saw Badges And Medals’ samples.
“Having a look at the different designs that were provided really just showcased the range that Badges And Medals have, and their ability to produce anything that came to mind. I saw some things that were glow-in-the-dark. I saw some things that were had fidget spinners in the middle of them. That was a real deciding factor for me, personally, and why I was supportive of the partnership.”
Football Victoria loved being able to bring any vision to life.
“The medals that we’ve created so far are super unique,” Pafralis said.
‘Something I’ve never experienced before’
“I don’t think I’ve ever given a medal out and someone’s come up to me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing, this is awesome.’ … They usually grab their medal and go, but for the first time, we had feedback that was specifically about the medal that they were receiving.”
