Team 11 are an A-League expansion bid based in south-east Melbourne, in the Dandenong region.

Representing an area of over 1.2 million people, in one of Australia's most multicultural areas, the stadium development relies on Team 11 being awarded a franchise.

Development Victoria, Ernst and Young, Cox Architecture and Greater Dandenong Council are working together to source funding for the development, with the stadium set to be built on Dandenong council-owned land.

Team 11's plans would see a 12,000 - 15,000 seat stadium, with the potential to increase capacity to 20,000 in the future. Keeping active supporters in mind, there are also provisions for safe standing areas.

The stadium will be designed by AAMI Park's architecture firm, Cox Architecture and the proposed site is less than 100 metres from Dandenong train station. 

Socceroos legend Vince Grella said the stadium would be perfect for Australian football fans. 

“Football fans in Australia have been crying out for boutique venues in which to house our clubs. Dandenong Stadium is perfect,” Grella said.

“There are more people playing football than any other sport in this country. The game deserves venues such as this.

“Not only will Team 11 be able to enjoy this facility, but the potential for Socceroos, Matildas and youth internationals to be played here is very real, as well as local club games and regional gala events and tournaments.”

Local businessman Gerry Ryan said the benefits would reach far beyond football. 

“This is a game-changer for the city of Dandenong and for the south-east of Victoria,” Ryan said.

“We want to provide our children – and all members of our culturally diverse community – a cause they can unite behind, be inspired by and feel connected to. A football team playing out of a venue such as this would do just that.

“To also have community and education programs running from the stadium in partnership with local tertiary, training and not-for-profit organisations would ensure our residents benefit significantly from this development.”
