Football Federation Australia is saddened to notify the football community of the passing of Mr Steve Gasparinatos, former President of Football Federation Tasmania (FFT), who died aged 59 last Thursday. Mr Gasparinatos was a member of the FFT Board since 2002, including five years as President.

He has played an integral role in the leadership of the sport, particularly with the implementation of the various governance and structural reforms that resulted from the Crawrford Report of 2003. Steve has overseen the significant growth of football throughout Tasmania, both in terms of participation as well as of the organisation itself. He has also been an active player and coach himself over many years.

Steve has been a valued part of the football family in Australia and he will be missed by his friends and colleagues throughout the country.

FFA would like to extend our thoughts and best wishes to Steves family and friends at this difficult time.
