NNSWF CEO Peter Haynes was pleased to make the announcement.
“We welcome the foundation clubs who will represent the regional member zones who were supportive of the project and look forward to evolving the NNSW Regional Super League over the coming seasons,” Haynes said.
“The competition will extend the pathways for regional players and clubs as well as create a platform for talented regional players to showcase their talent."
NNSWF General Manager Football Operations Liam Bentley looked forward to the launch of the NNSW Regional Super League.
“The establishment of the NNSW Regional Super League is an exciting step forward for football across regional northern NSW,” Bentley said.
“Congratulations to all of the successful clubs. I wish them all the best and cannot wait to see the men’s and women’s competitions get underway in the coming months.”
The introduction of the NNSW Regional Super League will address identified challenges and create strategic opportunities for football development in regional northern NSW.
The competition was established to create more competitive opportunities for regional clubs and players, provide a sustainable pathway for talented regional players and increase player retention and engagement.
The inaugural pilot competition will see the NNSW Regional Super League feature men’s and women’s leagues, each made up of eight teams. The competitions will be split into two pools of four teams.
Each team will play three match days with the first played by 31 May 2025, the second by 30 June 2025 and the third by 31 July. The top two teams from each pool will then advance through to a finals festival weekend in Coffs Harbour to be played in October 2025.
