Standing between Football NSW and another championship will be strong sides from Football West, Football Victoria, Football Queensland, and Northern NSW Football, with each association fielding teams in the mixed-gender competition.
Teams arrive on Monday 8 December for training and recovery before the Group Stage kicks off on Tuesday 9 December. Each team will play one another across ten group-stage matches before finals places are locked in. The tournament concludes on Friday 12 December with the Bronze Medal Match followed by the Gold Medal decider.
The National Para Football Championships continue to serve as a cornerstone of Football Australia’s para football pathway, delivering high-quality match minutes, national visibility, and a competitive environment that fosters long-term athlete development.
