CONGRATULATIONS to the players, coaches and clubs and thanks to the parents and extended family members, whose commitment and support enabled the players to benefit from this experience.
Thanks to the staff from Northern NSW Football, who facilitated the planning and a successful delivery of the tournament.
The purpose of the Champion of Champion tournament is to invite the best youth community football teams from across the seven Northern NSW Football Zones, to challenge for the title of Champion of Champions in their age group.
In a change to previous formats, clubs were invited to enter any teams that competed in its Member Zone’s top division during 2023 and challenge for the title of Champion of Champions.
The tournament also provided an opportunity for talented junior match officials to come together to officiate and to also be mentored by highly credentialled match officials. FFNC acknowledges Zoe Brus and Calum Kirkpatrick who were selected to attend and Luke Mackney who was part of the Technical team of match officials.
WELL DONE to everyone who was involved in the 2023 tournament!!!
