The Standing Committees were established by Football NSW to represent the interests of various stakeholders in Football in NSW.
The Standing Committees are important vehicles for assisting Football NSW in achieving a better environment and value equation for the Football community.
This includes all participants in our game, including players (men and women, elite and grassroots, junior and senior), coaches, referees, administrators and the broader Football community. Football NSW is committed to using these vehicles to provide opportunities for openness, transparency and inclusiveness with the broader Football community.
The terms of reference of each of the Standing Committees are set out in Schedule 3 of the Football NSW By-Laws.
