The A-League club was not permitted to sell tickets to home games, although Victory members would be granted entry.
Travelling Victory fans would also not be allowed to attend any away matches.
FA described the measures as “an essential step” while they continued the show cause determination process.
“Football Australia does not wish to penalise football fans during this time; however our priority is to ensure the safety and enjoyment of everyone within the venue on match days and that any unacceptable behaviour by spectators are not repeated at any football match or event ever again,” FA said in a statement on December 23.
“We believe these measures will achieve this.”
