The 2025 Community State Youth Championships will take place at Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility from Monday 7 to Friday 11 July.
The five-day tournament will see the best community footballers from across northern NSW represent their respective member zones as they go head-to-head to be crowned champions.
Four of Northern NSW Football’s seven zones will take part in the event including Newcastle Football, Macquarie Football, Hunter Valley Football and North Coast Football.
NNSWF Indigenous teams will also compete in the competition for the first time, consisting of First Nation players and coaches from throughout northern NSW.
First Nations players will have the opportunity to represent their culture alongside First Nations coaches in under-14s and under-16s boys and girls teams.
NNSWF worked with member zones to find the optimal competition structure for each division based on the differing number of teams in each age group.
The competition is split into boys and girls age groups from under-12s to under-16s and is open to any community footballers.
NNSWF General Manager Football Operations Liam Bentley said that he was excited ahead of the fourth annual competition.
“The tournament is a fantastic opportunity for our community footballers to showcase their talents,” Bentley said.
“I’m excited to see these players get a chance to play at the Lake Macquarie Regional Football Facility and represent their member zone next week.”
