TURSA Supporting the Community through Football

October 29th, 2026

Tursa Employment & Training has aligned with Football Far North Coast as the major strategic partner of the 2027 pre-season competitions. This relationship continues a long historical connection between two of the most significant organisations in the region.

The Tursa Employment & Training ANZAC Day Cup was first contested in 1950 and now reaches a significant historical milestone of 75 years for local football. Competitions will be contested in the Men’s Premier League, Open A, Open B, Open C and anticipated to also include an age 16’s competition.

Women’s pre-season competitions will see the Tursa Employment & Training Callan McMillan Memorial Shield planned for two divisions. Female football continues to grow with more than 2500 female players and almost 45 senior female teams now participating locally each season. The broader 2027 winter season is anticipated to see registrations again surge to near 8000 players and several thousand other registered participants.

Dana Radburn from TURSA, heralded the alignment with Football Far North Coast, saying, ‘Football has a huge footprint across the region and TURSA is delighted to support an organisation that has a positive impact on many thousands of local residents.’

Founded in 1994, Tursa Employment & Training is a not-for-profit organisation and its core business is about finding work for people who need work and finding workers for businesses that need workers. TURSA is also a nationally accredited Registered Training Organisation RTO: 90325
