Whitten Oval

Whitten Oval (known under naming rights as Mission Whitten Oval) is an Australian rules football venue located in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray. It has been the home of the Western Bulldogs (originally known as the Footscray Football Club) since 1883.

The venue hosted Footscray's senior men's matches – first in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) and later in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL) – near-continuously until the end of the 1997 season. It has continued to serve as the club's training and administrative headquarters, while also hosting AFL Women's (AFLW), Victorian Football League (VFL), and VFL Women's (VFLW) matches.

Formerly known as the Western Oval, the venue was renamed in 1995 in honour of Ted Whitten, a former player, captain and coach for the club. A statue of Whitten is located at the entrance of the oval.
