FUTSAL COMPETITIONS

Futsal Premier League 2021 Cancellation

The 2021 Futsal Premier League competition was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Football NSW, alongside the Futsal Premier League Clubs, engaged in discussions about the likelihood of delivering a high-level elite competition in 2021.

Ultimately, it appeared that the FPL competition was not viable as match scheduling and planning became incredibly challenging and many FPL clubs were unable to commit due to concerns over delivering a competition within indoor venues.

Futsal Nationals 2021 Cancellation

In 2021, Football NSW was to host the National Futsal Championships.

Due to the initial COVID-19 pandemic, scheduling and planning proved to be challenging, with uncertainty remaining around travel restrictions and border closures.

The cancellation of the 2020 Futsal Premier League led to the decision that Football NSW was unable to deliver the Futsal Nationals event in 2021.

Futsal Competitions

Futsal Competitions were heavily impacted through the Winter period of competitions.

The Futsal Clubs and community did, however, work together to establish two competitions:

• The Centre Dural’s Sydney Premier League • PCYC Marrickville’s Junior Premier League

The Centre Dural’s Sydney Premier League is a competition that was established in partnership with Football NSW and Futsal Premier League Clubs to create an elite Futsal competition that would provide a good quality competition for under 12 boys up to the all age men and under 13 girls up to the all age women age categories. PCYC Marrickville’s Junior Premier League in partnership with Football NSW has been set up to deliver a futsal festival of games for our Futsal clubs’ junior teams, providing quality competitions for under 8 right up to the under 13 for both boys and girls. In 2021, Football NSW saw eight Local Futsal Affiliates provide matches across nine futsal competitions. Despite another disrupted Futsal season for the Futsal community, Football NSW appreciates the hard work and sacrifice that all Futsal Clubs and centres/ affiliates have dedicated during tough times.

Winter Futsal League The 2021 season saw Football NSW create and form the new Winter Futsal League to provide a high-level futsal competition during the winter months of the year. Despite the

Futsal Schools Championships

After a challenging year, Football NSW’s 2021 edition of the Futsal Schools Championships was able to get off the ground, with ten regional championships out of 12 completed under strict COVID-19 conditions. Unfortunately, the State Championships in August had to be cancelled following the Greater Sydney lockdown. The Futsal Schools Championships are a unique opportunity for schools to participate in competitions where a variety of state, private and independent schools can compete. These championships contain different age categories from Primary School (10 years) to Secondary (Opens), both male and female. Football NSW is proud of the reputation that has been created for the Championships, and over the years it has become one of the largest school-based, single-sport events in NSW and Australia. Football NSW will be looking forward to delivering a larger championship event in 2022, in conjunction with the Office of Sport and the School Sports Unit.
