Northern NSW Football has confirmed the renewal of its formal alliance with VEO, the AI-driven automatic football camera.

NNSWF has been an official collaborator with Veo since 2020, becoming one of the first Australian clients of the Copenhagen-based company.

Veo offers an affordable, all-in-one solution that allows football clubs of any size to automatically record and analyse matches and training sessions.

The portable Veo camera features two 4K lenses that capture a 180-degree field of view, enabling clubs to record every moment of a game in stunning video quality. This makes recording, watching, re-watching, and analysing football simpler than ever. The latest model, the Veo Cam 3, offers enhanced video quality, 5G live streaming, and an extended control range for remote operation.

Veo’s mission has consistently been to provide football recording and AI analysis to all clubs, regardless of their size, financial resources, or skill levels. Veo cameras are utilised by clubs at every level throughout northern NSW and Australia.

Veo has recently launched a new feature for users of the Veo 2 and 3 cameras. The ‘Player Spotlight‘ feature clips footage of individual players on the field, identified by their shirt numbers, facilitating quick and easy analysis.

Since their partnership began in 2020, Veo has introduced ‘Veo Live,’ enabling any club or team to livestream their matches from anywhere without the need for a camera operator. This feature allows games to be streamed on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and other preferred services.

NNSWF CEO Peter Haynes stated that he was happy to renew the partnership with Veo.

“NNSWF is thrilled to continue this partnership for another two years and provide our clubs with exclusive deals and discounts,” Haynes said via press release.

“Veo has been very useful for our organisation and we are looking forward to seeing how this can continue to help clubs in our region.”

Veo Market Lead for APAC, Jerry Jarnald, expressed his enthusiasm for continued collaboration with Northern NSW Football.

“At Veo, we are grateful for the continued trust from Northern NSW Football and its member clubs,” Jarnald said via press release.

“The adoption rate has been fantastic since 2021 when we started, with 100% of the NPL and Hit 106.9 Northern League One clubs, as well as around 45% of the Zone Football League clubs, choosing Veo as their recording solution so far. It’s a testament to the strong partnership we’ve built, but also to the clubs being progressive and aiming high with their player development.”

Football NSW calls on clubs to Make It Red for Heart Health Round

Football NSW is calling on clubs and associations across the state to register for the 2026 Make It Red campaign, joining a national awareness movement aimed at reducing heart-related deaths on sporting grounds ahead of Heart Health Round on the weekend of June 5 to 7.

The campaign, developed by the Heartbeat of Football Foundation, asks sporting clubs to wear red, raise funds and build awareness around heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest, which is the leading single cause of disease burden and death in Australia for both men and women, and one that health authorities say is largely preventable through modifiable risk factors.

The call to action comes as the Foundation continues its work to map and register Automated External Defibrillators across NSW sporting facilities, a project that has already engaged twelve football associations and fed data into both the NSW Ambulance GoodSAM registry and NSW Health’s public AED map. The availability of a functioning, registered AED on site is among the most significant determinants of survival following sudden cardiac arrest, with survival rates declining sharply for every minute without defibrillation.

Football NSW is encouraging clubs to engage with the campaign across three areas. Clubs can register for the Make It Red campaign to help fund research, education and prevention programs. Participants, particularly those aged over 35, are encouraged to seek a free heart health screening test from their local GP or enquire about hosting a Heartbeat of Football testing day. Clubs are also urged to ensure their grounds have active, accessible AEDs in place, with guidance available through Football NSW’s Rescue Ready Guide.

The Make It Red campaign runs from June 5 to July 12, with Heart Health Round taking place across the opening weekend. Clubs can register and access participation resources at makeitred.org.

Community Spirit Shines on AFC Grassroots Football Day 2026

This week, Football Australia (FA) celebrated AFC Grassroots Football Day 2026, championing the people and communities who continue to hold up a safe, inclusive and supportive environment in the football landscape.

‘For all, for life’

In collaboration with Football NSW, Canterbury Football Association and community club, Balmain & District Football Club, the day reflected the very best of what football provides.

The event brought in participants of all ages – from 4-74 years-old – and reached a total of 400 people. Girls-only programs, all-abilities sessions and over-age football ensured all were catered for.

Such a diverse range of participants builds on a wider drive during FIFA World Football Week, which seeks to promote the sport not just as the dazzling lights of 100,000-seater stadiums, but as a way to foster community spirit and social development.

Furthermore, FA support through its Club Changer program was a welcome addition to the action, emphasising the organisation’s commitment to nurture a real love for the game across communities in Australia.

“Through Club Changer we support our clubs to provide a safe, fun and enjoyable environment where everyone is welcome; whether that be as a player, volunteer, referee or supporter,” explained National Program Manager Club Development at FA, Grace Lambourne.

“Everyone should feel they belong and are welcome to play, stay, and love the game.”

 

A welcome celebration

While the upcoming FIFA World Cup will no doubt inspire millions of future Socceroos and Matildas, events like the AFC Grassroots Football Day represent something beyond just inspiration.

It is a platform. An opportunity to express a love for football and to connect with others while doing so.

And connections between the professional and grassroots game is more important than ever if Australia is to nurture the next generation of talent.

This is particularly clear in the rise of women’s football across the nation. Since the FIFA Women’s World Cup, female participation rose by 32%, and registrations for the MiniTillies Program skyrocketed from 264 in 2023, to 1223 in 2024.

The professionals spark passion. But communities turn that passion into playing time.

That is why celebrating grassroots football – and the volunteers and families who sustain it – is a vital part of Australia’s football future. Together, FA and the AFC are creating strong foundations built on positivity, engagement, and inclusivity for all with a love for the beautiful game.
