2023 is going to be a bumper year for football in Canterbury with players around the region signing-up in droves.
Compared to the same point in 2022, registration numbers are up 15% this season.
There have been several factors that have people in the region excited for football in 2023, including:
- Improvements in football facilities and pitches across the region
- The World Cup success of the Socceroos
- The upcoming Women’s World Cup in Australia
- New clubs in the region
- New and expanding leagues in the region
The 2023 season kicks-off on the weekend of 31 March / 1 April / 2 April but with most clubs already starting training and considering selections, it is no surprising to see players registering early to secure their spot.
