Youth League

THE FFA are set to announce the details of the youth league that is set to kick of next season.


Rob Baan and Ben Buckley will make the announcement at 1pm in Sydney tomorrow afternoon.

It is still unclear what links the competition will have with the A-League and critically whether the competition will act as a reserves. This addition would allow A-League squad players and those returning from injury to get match practice.


It is also unknown whether imports would be allowed to play in the competition.

It is a big few days for the FFA as they effectively try to create nine new teams within five months, with the two new Queensland franchises and at least seven youth league teams.


Potential new franchises in Queensland, Wollongong and Melbourne will also be interested to see whether they will be required to have a youth league operating within their first year.
