We are incredibly proud to have played a leading role in the independent football landscape across Australia for five years.

During that time, Premier Academy League brought together academies, coaches, families and players from across the country, providing high-quality competition opportunities for thousands of young footballers.

As of 2024, Premier Academy League has concluded its operations. While we are sad to have finished this chapter, we are delighted that Independent Football Australia has continued the mission of supporting independent football providers and creating meaningful opportunities for young players.

Thank you to every academy, player, coach, parent, venue, and partner who supported the competition over the years. We are extremely proud of what was built and grateful to everyone who was part of the journey.

The video below, from our 2023 National Cup, captures what Premier Academy League meant, and reflects the spirit of the competition we were proud to build.
