Numbers have continued to increase as nominations are finalised for the 2025 Football Far North Coast season.

On the back of record player numbers in 2024, this season is on track to see football progress even further, with the number of competition teams climbing to 259 (up from 251 in 2024). Player registrations are already at 6000 (which is on track to again achieve close to 8000 players this season).

Football Far North Coast anticipate there potentially being in excess of 400 MiniRoos teams nominated when they reconcile team numbers at the end of March.

The Miniroos registration window is open until 30 June, but it is wise to ‘sign-up’ with priority, or you could miss out on finding a team/club.

The next step for FFNC is to start the complex task of constructing the many draws.

FFNC General Manager Steve Mackney has put out another plea for match officials "A ‘shout out’ also goes out to potential match officials (especially ADULTS), as it is very apparent, that we are again going to be desperately short of having enough referees to be appointed across the width and breath of the region. PLEASE recognise that most match officials are necessarily sourced from players (current or former), coaches and parents and critically, recruitment and retention of match officials, is a challenge every year."

"Season 2025 is poised to be a massive time for local football and I again extend an expression of appreciation to all volunteers, match officials and to every person who makes a contribution to sustain community football."

The table below provides a summary of the teams for junior competition teams and senior league teams. This is sound evidence that football in this region plays an important role within each of our communities.
