BATTLE OF THE NORTH: PREMIER LEAGUE WOMEN AND MEN PRE-SEASON MATCHES
We are thrilled to announce that in the pre-season of 2025, North West Sydney Football (NWSF) select Premier League Women’s and Men’s teams will compete in an exciting new event: the “Battle of the North” against Premier League select teams from the Northern Suburbs Football Association (NSFA).
This event will feature top players from the Men’s and Women’s Premier League teams, showcasing the best talent our clubs have to offer.
The NWSF teams will be coached by the 2024 Premiership-winning coaches: Tamara Sales from Flying Bats FC for the women’s team and Ebs Parker from West Ryde Rovers FC for the men’s team.
Players will wear NWSF shirts and shorts and will wear their local club socks for identification.
Clubs from the 2024 Premier League competitions have been invited to nominate players for consideration, with the respective coaches running a selection process from that shortlist.
The matches will be held across each Association, with NWSFA hosting the women’s match, and NSFA hosting the men’s match.
