Capitalising on the World Cup Effect

The FIFA World Cup™ has traditionally had a positive impact on grassroots football participation levels across northern NSW. 2022 and 2023 represents a unique opportunity with both the men’s and women’s World Cups within six months of each other.

David Eland, Northern NSW Football CEO understands what this opportunity represents “We have a once in a generation chance to get more people into our game. Millions of Australians will be watching the Socceroos in Qatar and the Matildas at home in 2023. This is our chance to encourage parents to register their kids to play football and something we have been planning for,” Eland said.

Marketing the world game to future Socceroos and Matildas

The World Cup competition is part of Northern NSW Football’s annual recruitment marketing strategy and complements Football Australia’s Find your Place campaign.

Northern NSW Football has prioritised efforts to increase junior football participation to pre-pandemic levels using a mixture of traditional and digital marketing tactics.

The World Cup competition and Find Your Place campaign are now live in preparation for the FIFA World Cup™ and continue until April 2023.
