Football Tasmania on Thursday released its State of Play report, which highlighted the continued growth over the past year for the sport that owns the title as the state's best when it comes to participation.

Chief executive Matt Bulkeley used the opportunity to call for a more even playing field when it comes to funding compared to other sports.

"Our view is that we are really searching for fairness in funding and a really transparent process about how the funding is allocated,'' he said.

"We are the largest participation sport in Tasmania and have been for some time, as determined by the Oz play and also our own figures, so we just want to make sure that funding is consistent with our level of participation."

He used an example of a significant gap between soccer and football, to the point of hundreds of dollars per participant.

Even keeping in mind the state government's deals with AFL clubs Hawthorn and North Melbourne, Bulkeley said there was still a "disparity in funding".

Infrastructure, particularly for women, pay parity between male and female competitions and desire to continue to grow participation numbers are some of the aims for Football Tasmania this year, Bulkeley said.

It comes with Football Tasmania's aspirations of A-League and W-League teams, which has private backing, with Bulkeley reiterating his organisation's support for the Tasmanian NBL (with that decision expected Friday) and AFL push.

"But we want to be clear about how funding decisions are made, particularly in the area of participation and talent identification,'' he said.

"We are working genuinely very constructively with the state government, all levels of government in fact, and this is not a conversation we haven't had with them. We just want to work to a solution that we have the funding we need for our sport."

Bulkeley said the historical treatment of the game in the state, combined with the fact that soccer to some extent has "flown under the radar" were factors in the difference in funding levels to it and other sports in Tasmania.
