Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) has created a working group for a strategy of the implementation of the men’s and women’s regional premier competitions for either the 2025 or 2026 season.

This league will try and represent the regional talent of NNSWF and give regional areas a more structured pathway for their talent and ensure that they can compete at a higher level without the need for relocation.

The working group will be made up of regional club representatives, regional zone representatives and NNSWF staff members.

The Term of Reference explains the main objectives of the working group are:

  1. To develop a sustainable model for the RPC that complements existing community football structures.
  2. To ensure the model aligns with NNSWF’s strategic goals and benefits all stakeholders involved.
  3. To consult with key stakeholders to gather insights and ensure broad support for the proposed competition.
  4. To present a detailed model for the RPC to the NNSWF Board of Directors for approval, with an aim for implementation in 2025 or 2026.

There will be regular meetings, surveys, and public forums. with stakeholders throughout the process where they will be engaged in the creation of the draft plans for the competitions.

Some of these important progress dates are:

  1. September 2024 they will have conducted stakeholder consultations develop a draft operating model and presented it to the regional Member Zones.
  2. Present the final model to the NNSWF Board of Directors for approval by October 2024.
  3. Implement the approved RPC model for the 2025 or 2026 football season, if they have Board approval.

This initiative strongly supports the strategic pillars outlined in the NNSWF Strategic Plan 2024-2026 which include: Talent Development for All, Participation for All and Showcasing our Game.

This working group is a positive and collaborative approach to the creation of an important new milestone competition for the huge regional areas in the NNSWF.

The working group is a diverse group of people with expertise in the region, this is so important for making sure the voices of the actual regional players and communities are heard, and the design of these big association developments can be moulded by the people most affected.

It will be interesting to see how this development continues in one of the most unique Australian footballing associations and its efforts to tackle the isolation of regional football in Australia.

Staff Writer

Liverpool Football Club has kicked off a major new era by signing a multi-year global partnership with Trimble, a leading technology company set to revolutionise the club’s infrastructure and day-to-day operations.

The partnership will debut with a massive redevelopment of the Liverpool FC Academy — a project that promises to transform the way future Reds stars train and develop. The upgrade will feature a new full-size indoor pitch, an outdoor pitch with stands, and state-of-the-art medical and sports science facilities designed to nurture the club’s next generation of talent.

Using Trimble SketchUp®, the redevelopment will create a world-class environment for young players to learn, train and thrive. This collaboration ties directly into Liverpool’s broader vision to drive innovation, boost performance, and ensure its facilities continue to meet the demands of the modern game.

Beyond the infrastructure improvements, Trimble’s brand will also feature across Anfield and LFC’s digital platforms — reaching one of the largest audiences in global sport. With more than 215 million social followers, 12 million YouTube subscribers, and a staggering 583 million cumulative TV viewers across all competitions during the 2024/25 season, Trimble is set to gain enormous worldwide visibility.

Ben Latty, Chief Commercial Officer at Liverpool, said:
“Trimble’s technology and expertise will play an important role in how we continue to evolve our facilities to meet the needs of the modern game – starting with the redevelopment of our Academy.

“Innovation has always been central to the club’s approach, and this partnership brings a fresh perspective to how we design and deliver spaces that support our players, staff and fans. We’re delighted to welcome Trimble to the LFC partnership family.”

Rob Painter, President and CEO of Trimble, added:
“Our collaboration with Liverpool Football Club is a pivotal step in expanding our global reach.

“LFC, much like Trimble and its dedicated customers, embodies excellence and a relentless passion for continuous improvement. We’re confident that this unparalleled exposure will propel the brand further with extended global resonance.”

Liverpool’s latest move isn’t just another sponsorship deal — it’s a statement of intent. By joining forces with Trimble, the club is doubling down on innovation, investing in the future, and ensuring its young stars have the best possible platform to shine for years to come.
