Soccer in the Northern Territory

Soccer is a popular but predominantly amateur sport in the Northern Territory. The sport is governed by Football Northern Territory, which is a regional affiliate of Football Australia, the national governing body for the sport.

League system
While Australia's national soccer competitions (the A-Leagues: the A-League Men, the A-League Youth and the A-League Women) do not practice promotion and relegation, most state and territory leagues do. However, the Northern Territory does not practice promotion and relegation. Instead, Football Northern Territory organises three semi-professional leagues in one zone each.

Zones
Football Northern Territory defines three zones, each with a semi-professional league.
