The Football Hall of Fame [1] was established in 1999 as the Soccer Hall of Fame to honour outstanding services to association football in Australia. It is organised by Football Federation Australia, the governing body of association football in Australia. Since its formation 194 players, coaches, referees, administrators and media representatives have been inducted in the Football Hall of Fame.
