The collaboration will aim to enhance the game’s delivery across the Northern Territory by focusing on referee development, creating new pathways and supporting clubs.
What Will the Partnership Bring?
Announced last Friday, the partnership between Football Northern Territory (FNT) and Football Queensland (FQ) will aim to expand and develop the game across the Territory, creating a sustainable footballing framework for current and future generations in the region.
FQ will help to deliver initiatives centred around referee education, pathway development, competition management and club support, as well as providing players with the opportunity to compete in tournaments across both regions.
Football Queensland CEO, Robert Cavallucci explained that the collaboration will seek to improve the overall football experience and inspire new development opportunities in the Territory.
“Working with Football Northern Territory gives us the opportunity to share our experience and support the systems and pathways that improve the football experience,” he said via FQ press release.
“With Football NT now deploying Squadi to support clubs and transform their operations, FQ will draw on its years of experience with the platform to provide practical implementation guidance and a library of club support resources.”
What is Squadi and how will FNT benefit?
Squadi is a digital platform designed to alleviate the challenges of managing football competitions. It allows associations, clubs, players and match officials to manage day-to-day operations effectively and communicate with ease.
So with Football Northern Territory seeking to develop their football operations, the roll-out of such a platform, alongside the expertise of Football Queensland, is the perfect springboard.
Furthermore, Football Northern Territory CEO, Jamie Monteith has recognised the significance of the deal in the development of the game across the Northern Territory.
“Working with the team at Football Queensland allows us to tap into leading knowledge and proven systems that will help us elevate football here in the Northern Territory for all our participants and match officials,” he said via press release.
A Historic Partner
Established in 1884, Football Queensland has a wealth of experience to share with Football Northern Territory going forward. The alliance will ensure that FNT can access high-quality and efficient systems also used by FQ, ultimately allowing the game to expand across the Territory in a sustainable way.
Through the implementation of referee courses, the utilisation of management platforms like Squadi, and a focus on pathway development for match officials and players alike, Football Queensland will be able to enhance the football experience across the board in the Northern Territory, propelling it into an exciting future.
