APFC Summer Football 2026 Team Submission

IMPORTANT INFORMATION – TEAM NUMBERS & ENTRY LIMITS

As 2026 is our first season of APFC Summer Football, we are intentionally starting with a smaller competition and plan to expand in future years as the program grows.

Due to venue and scheduling limitations, team numbers in each age group are capped.

MAXIMUM TEAM ENTRIES
U6: 16 teams
U7: 16 teams
U8 – U12: 12 teams per age group

APFC teams will receive first preference for entry into the competition. If vacancies remain after APFC team submissions have been processed, the competition may be opened to external teams to assist in completing the draw.

We strongly encourage coaches and managers to organise and register their teams as early as possible to avoid missing out.

After your form is submitted, the club will verify the validity of all players listed, including checking that each player has registered and paid through PlayFootball. Once this process has been completed, you will receive an email confirming whether your team has been accepted into the competition.

Thank you for your support as we launch our inaugural APFC Summer Football season. We are looking forward to creating a fun, friendly, and well-organised competition for all players and families.
