Governing body for soccer in the Northern Territory
Football Northern Territory (FNT) is the state governing body for soccer in the Northern Territory, Australia. It is affiliated with Football Australia, the national governing body. The Territory is also separated into three zones – Northern, Central and FICA (Southern) – which have their own zone councils which locally administer their own league and cup competitions.
There is currently no overall champion – the regional winners in 2016 were Hellenic Athletic Club (Northern Zone) and Celtic (FICA).
The federation conducts the territory-wide Sport Minister's Cup, which doubles as qualification for the national FFA Cup.
The male knock-out cup – now run annually with clubs from NorZone and FICA – is a single-leg knockout cup competition, first held as part of the preliminary rounds of the 2015 FFA Cup. It is the qualification route for the single NT federation representative for the FFA Cup, now known as the Australia Cup.
Since 2016 the final has been played for the Cup.
From 2015 to 2018 the winners of the NorZone and FICA met in the final; since 2019 the winners of FICA have qualified to the semi-final stage (FFA Cup preliminary Round 6).
