The Voices Of Jubilee: Commentary Teams Ready For NPL NSW Grand Final Stage
The biggest day on the NPL NSW calendar is almost here, and while the players will take centre stage at St George Venues Jubilee Stadium this Sunday, some of the competition’s most experienced media professionals will be there to bring every moment to life.
The 2026 NPL NSW Grand Finals will see Bulls FC Academy take on UNSW FC in the NPL Women’s NSW decider before APIA Leichhardt face Sydney United 58 in the NPL Men’s NSW Grand Final.
Both matches will be streamed live on the Football NSW YouTube channel, ensuring fans across NSW and beyond can experience the action from Jubilee Stadium.
And with two massive Championship battles ahead, Football NSW has assembled experienced commentary, reporting, photography and social media teams to provide comprehensive coverage of what promises to be a memorable Sunday.
The NPL Women’s NSW Grand Final will feature renowned commentator Teo Pellizzeri, who will be joined by Annabelle Banfield in the commentary box, while Emily Arnold will provide sideline coverage.
Pellizzeri brings extensive experience across football broadcasting and has become a familiar voice across Football NSW’s NPL coverage, while Banfield will add another experienced perspective to the Grand Final call.
Arnold will be stationed on the sideline, providing the latest updates, reaction and insight from pitch level as Bulls FC Academy and UNSW FC battle for the Championship.
Football NSW’s written coverage will be led by Dimitri Kallos, who will report from Jubilee and capture the key moments, reaction and stories from the women’s decider.
Behind the cameras, Angela De Pourbaix and Damian Briggs will be on hand to capture the action, emotion and atmosphere throughout the Grand Final, while Maeve Sparrow and Tanisha Morar will lead Football NSW’s social content coverage, bringing fans closer to the action across the organisation’s digital platforms.
It promises to be a fascinating contest.
The Bulls arrive as the reigning Premiers and are chasing another Premiership-Championship double, while UNSW have already enjoyed a memorable 2026 campaign after lifting the Sapphire Cup and finishing second in the regular season.
Then, at 3:00pm, the attention turns to the NPL Men’s NSW Grand Final.
Two experienced NPL campaigners, Alex Molchanoff and Nikola Pozder, will take their places behind the microphones for the blockbuster clash between APIA Leichhardt and Sydney United 58.
Both have spent significant time around the NPL Men’s NSW competition throughout the season and will bring their knowledge, insight and understanding of the players and clubs to the biggest match of the year.
They will be joined on the sideline by Will Konstantinidis, who will provide pitch-side updates and bring viewers even closer to the action.
Once again, Dimitri Kallos will take charge of the written coverage, ensuring the stories and moments from the men’s decider are captured for Football NSW audiences.
Damian Briggs will continue his busy day behind the camera, joined by Brett Nielsen, with the pair tasked with capturing the atmosphere, intensity and emotion of the NPL Men’s NSW Championship decider.
Football NSW’s social media coverage will also be in full flight, with Jude Dolan, Abdul Salam and Tomas Miletic working throughout the day to deliver the latest content, updates, behind-the-scenes moments and Grand Final action across Football NSW’s digital channels.
The men’s decider promises to be a fitting finale to a season that has already delivered plenty of drama.
APIA Leichhardt enter the Grand Final as the 2026 Premiers and defending Champions, while Sydney United 58 arrive after finishing second and winning the Waratah Cup earlier in the year.
The two clubs have already produced some memorable encounters in 2026, including the Waratah Cup Final, a league victory for APIA and a draw in their other regular-season meeting.
Now, everything comes down to one final contest.
Football NSW Media Manager Mark Stavroulakis said the quality and depth of the media teams assembled for Sunday was a fitting reflection of the effort that has gone into covering the competitions throughout the year.
“We can’t wait for the big game on Sunday, and I want to wish Teo, Annabelle, Emily, Alex, Nikola and Will all the very best for what is going to be a huge day at Jubilee,” Stavroulakis said.
“I also want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our valued commentators, photographers, social content creators and journalists who have played such a huge role throughout the season.”
“Their work has helped promote not only our NPL competitions, but our leagues right across Football NSW, and we simply could not deliver the level of coverage we do without their commitment, professionalism and passion for the game.”
“It’s been a massive year, and we’re looking forward to finishing it in style with two fantastic Grand Finals.”
The Grand Finals form part of a spectacular double-header at Jubilee Stadium, with the women’s match kicking off at 12:00pm before the men’s Championship decider gets underway at 3:00pm.
For those unable to make it to Jubilee, the entire day will be available to watch live through the Football NSW YouTube channel.
From the opening whistle to the final celebrations, the Football NSW media team will be there to capture the drama, emotion and history as two Champions are crowned.
Four teams. Two Grand Finals. One unforgettable day at Jubilee.
