Football NSW is proud to announce that the prestigious Champion of Champions tournament will once again culminate in a massive day of grassroots football action, with all final matches to be held at Valentine Sports Park on Sunday, 19 October.

In a new format for 2025, this year’s Champion of Champions finals will be held across one blockbuster day, with 18 matches scheduled on the hallowed grounds of Valentine Sports Park — known as the original home of football in New South Wales.

Having kicked off in 1968, the Champion of Champions tournament has grown to become one of the most respected and anticipated events on the grassroots football calendar. It brings together Association champions from across the state — each having qualified through strict eligibility criteria — to compete for ultimate bragging rights.

With Rounds 1 and 2 completed and Round 3 taking place this Sunday, the road to the finals is heating up. The semi-finals are locked in for Sunday, 12 October, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling Finals Day a week later.

“This is going to be a massive celebration of grassroots football in New South Wales,” said Kim Burge, Competitions Coordinator at Football NSW.

“To bring all the finals together at Valentine Sports Park on the one day creates a real festival atmosphere. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase the talent, passion, and community spirit that drive our game.”

Each of the 18 matches will also be streamed live and exclusive on Football NSW’s YouTube channel.

Football NSW is also proud to acknowledge Deploy Sports as the official ball sponsor of the Champion of Champions tournament, continuing their valued support of grassroots football.

Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable day of football action as we celebrate the best of the best from across New South Wales. Entry is free, and all are welcome to attend and cheer on their local champions.
