National Youth Championships 2022 – CEO Welcome

On behalf of Football Australia, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the National Youth Championships 2022 in Coffs Harbour.

After the COVID-19 pandemic led to a hiatus of live sporting events around the country, including the cancellation of the last two National Youth Championships, we are excited to welcome the country’s best junior footballers back to compete for the chance to be crowned the 2022 Australian champions.

The National Youth Championships are the flagship talented youth player event in the Australian football calendar, where we are delighted to see almost 60 teams representing all nine state and territory Member Federations at this year’s event.

These championships pit our best emerging youth footballers from across the country against each other in tournament conditions, providing an important opportunity for national team technical staff to identify players for future honours, and in doing so, they will follow in the footsteps of many current and former Socceroos and CommBank Matildas.

On behalf of Football Australia, I would also like to extend our gratitude to hosts, Northern NSW Football along with the NSW Government, Office of Sport and Coffs Harbour City Council for their ongoing support of these National Youth Championships.

A special thank you also to the many volunteers for all their hard work in the lead up to these Championships and throughout. Our sport is indebted to the dedication and passion of those who contribute so much to the sport in a voluntary capacity. We cannot thank you enough.

We also congratulate all footballers and appointed coaching staff on being selected to represent your respective state or territory. We hope you return home with many wonderful memories from this experience.

After almost three years since these championships were previously contested, may I say good luck to all footballers, coaches, referees, officials and support staff during this year’s National Youth Championships.

James Johnson Chief Executive Officer Football Australia

Northern NSW Football CEO Message

Northern NSW Football would like to welcome all players and their families, coaches, management and support staff to Coffs Harbour for the 2022 Football Australia National Youth Championships.

Northern NSW Football have hosted the championships here since 2006 and we are delighted the tournament is back after two years where it was unable to be played due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ability to host the tournament here has been achieved through partnership with Coffs Harbour City Council and Destination NSW. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their continued support and for providing such an outstanding facility.

The championships have, and will continue to, produce the next generation of players to represent Australian football nationally in the A-Leagues and internationally as Socceroos and Matildas. With that in mind, this week promises to once again be an outstanding showcase of competition between Australia’s best youth male and female footballers.

On behalf of Northern NSW Football, I wish you all the very best for the competition. I know you will enjoy your stay in this beautiful part of northern NSW.

Yours in Football

David Eland CEO Northern NSW Football
