Club Statement

Warners Bay Football Club acknowledges correspondence received from Newcastle Football Association advising of their decision to withdraw from the Inter-district Competition from the 2026 season and beyond.

For clarity, the Inter-district Competition encompasses age groups from Under 12s through to Men’s o35s and Women’s All Age teams. Coles Miniroos are unaffected.

This development was unexpected, and we understand that it may raise questions within our football community.

Macquarie Football is currently assessing what this means for the 2026 season and beyond. Warners Bay Football Club is working closely with Macquarie Football throughout this process to ensure we remain informed and aligned as future arrangements are considered.

Our priority remains to provide stability, clarity, and a strong pathway forward for our players, coaches, and families. We are committed to supporting a sustainable and well-structured football environment for our community.

We value the relationships built through the Inter-district Competition and acknowledge the cooperation shared between associations over the years.

Further updates will be provided as information becomes available.

Warners Bay FC Committee.
