Football Northern Territory

Football Federation Northern Territory (FFNT) is the state governing body for soccer in the Northern Territory, Australia. It is affiliated with Football Federation 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 administer leagues locally running 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 named the Sports Minister's Cup – and is a single-leg knockout cup competition, where the winners of the NorZone and FICA meet in the final. It was first held as part of the preliminary rounds of the 2015 FFA Cup, the inaugural year of the NT Federation's participation, and is the qualification route for the single NT federation representative for the FFA Cup.

Since 2016 the final has been played for the Cup.

gollark: It could probably work to have people just provide a list of things they like and how much, and have users specify people whose preferences match theirs to some degree (and to find them automatically via any overlap they do have), and then build a recommender thing out of that.
gollark: You could autotag things if you already had enough samples of good tagging.
gollark: This is a fairly good idea, although it might just be basically reddit?
