Celebrating sporting excellence at the 2025 VU Sport Awards

Sport has always been an important part of life at Victoria University.
Over the years, our students have proudly represented Australia at the Olympics, Commonwealth Games and World University events. Each year, we celebrate their achievements at the VU Sport Awards. We also recognise the efforts of our representative teams, sports clubs and volunteers who all play a vital role in shaping our sporting community.
The 2025 VU Sport Awards will be held at the Western Grounds Function Centre at Whitten Oval on Thursday 27 November. The Whitten Oval is home for our partners, the Western Bulldogs.
We look forward to welcoming students, staff, alumni, club members, VU supporters and special guests to celebrate another year of sporting success.
