The East unites for Football NSW Regional League
The Eastern Suburbs will be represented by squads drawn from across the entire region for the 2014 Regional League.
Hakoah Sydney City East FC represented the Eastern Suburbs in the inaugural 2013 season of the Regional League which was initiated as an outcome of the FNSW competitions Review to provide a development opportunity for aspiring footballers between grassroots football and the National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competitions.
For the 2014 season, Hakoah Sydney City East FC is now supporting the regional league sides under the Eastern Suburbs Football Association (ESFA) banner. These sides will represent the entire Eastern Suburbs and will draw from the best players in the Association.
ESFA sees this development of the Regional League to be an important part of clarifying and developing the Talented Player Pathway in the Eastern Suburbs, providing opportunities for talented junior players to advance.

“We are happy with the final outcome that’s provided a positive message to all, supporting kids together in their local area.”
Hakoah Sydney City East FC President Michael Katz echoed Dibdin’s comments and was also excited with the upcoming prospect with ESFA.
