The second Timor Sea Cup football tournament was recently played in Dili, Timor-Leste with the host country and defending champions emerging victorious once again overcoming their opponents, Northern Territory and Nusa Tenggara Timor (NTT) in a dominating performance. Now known as the Conoco Phillips Timor Sea Cup, the inaugural tournament, an Under 18 men’s football tournament between the three near neighbours being NTT, Timor-Leste and the Northern Territory, was held in Darwin, 16 – 20 September 2008 and was a great success.

In conjunction with the 2010 National Volunteers Week (10-16 May) the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) is encouraging clubs to recognise the efforts of coaches and officials by nominating for a free Thanks recognition reward.

Clubs across Australia who best describe why and how they recognise their coaches and officials could receive the Thanks recognition reward.

The reward is a USB flash drive (pre-loaded with fact sheets, tools and tips, helpful hints and web links) and an engraved whistle with lanyard presented in a display box.
Clubs can apply for the reward by completing the application form (see related links) on the ASC website. Clubs must be affiliated/registered with an ASC approved national sporting organisation and can nominate for a maximum of two rewards.

Applications will be assessed on a first in, first served basis, unless the reward allocation is exhausted and will close on Friday 14 June 2010.

Sporting clubs that recognise and support their volunteers stand the best chance of remaining successful and viable by retaining its volunteers and attracting others. Volunteer coaches and officials contribute their valuable time, effort and expertise in assisting participants to develop their skills and enjoy their sport.

Contacts for Football in the Northern Territory

NorZone Football - Darwin region (season starts 9 April)            Website    Email

Football Federation Northern Territory (FFNT) has received a proposal for entering a Northern Territory team to play in the Singapore League. The proposal neither has enough information to assess its merit nor is there any evidence provided of support from the Football Federation of Australia (FFA).

FFNT has received in writing that FFA does not support the proposal. Without FFA support and adequate details the FFNT is not in a position to support this proposal.

The FFNT Board will only support this proposal provided that FFA and the Asian Football Confederation give their approval.  The FFNT Board also needs to be satisfied with the business plans, financials, feasibility studies and any other relevant documentation which will make this initiative a strong and viable concern for the long term that will benefit Territory football.
