Strategic Plan 2023-26

Football NSW aims to drive a new era of alignment and collaboration between our Members, Football NSW, and Football Australia. Right across the football family, we must ensure greater clarity in roles and responsibilities at every level.

Football NSW will focus on improved support, service delivery, guidance, and empowerment of our Members. Accountability will be more important than ever, along with an aim of removing duplication whilst ensuring a genuine emphasis on the football experience of all participants.

The fundamentals of our strategy for football in NSW align with Football Australia’s national strategy. As Members adopt key, relevant strategies in their own plans, the football community will become a stronger force as all levels of the game progress in the same direction.

The co-hosting of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023 offers the chance to galvanise the sport like nothing before.
