Football South Australia is proud to announce the squads set to travel to Melbourne and Sydney for the 2025 CommBank Emerging Championships.
The CommBank Emerging Matildas and Emerging Socceroos Championships represent Australia’s leading platforms for talent identification and player development. These tournaments play a vital role in shaping the next generation of footballers and strengthening the nation’s high-performance pathways.
As part of Football Australia’s continued evolution of the Emerging Championships, a range of workshops and seminars will be introduced. These sessions are designed to equip Australia’s most promising players, as well as coaches, support staff, and match officials, with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive both on and off the pitch.
Member Federation coaches will have access to high level education and development sessions, while nominated match officials will not only receive targeted training but also have the opportunity to showcase their abilities in a competitive national environment.
