Football Northern Territory


Football Federation Northern Territory is the state governing body for soccer in the Northern Territory, Australia. It is affiliated with Football Federation Australia, the national governing body. The Territory is also separated into three zones – Northern, Central and FICA – which have their own zone councils which administer leagues locally running their own league and cup competitions.
There is currently no overall champion – the regional winners in 2016 were Hellenic Athletic Club and Celtic.
The federation conducts the territory-wide Sport Minister's Cup, which doubles as qualification for the national FFA Cup.

The male knock-out cup – now run annually with clubs from NorZone and FICA – is named the Sports Minister's Cup – and is a single-leg knockout cup competition, where the winners of the NorZone and FICA meet in the final. It was first held as part of the preliminary rounds of the 2015 FFA Cup, the inaugural year of the NT Federation's participation, and is the qualification route for the single NT federation representative for the FFA Cup.
Since 2016 the final has been played for the Cup.
