Teams
editIn April 2017, the closing of the FFA Centre of Excellence (previously the Australian Institute of Sport Football Program) was announced.[1] They were replaced by Canberra United, who were granted a National Youth League licence.[2]
Format
editThe 2017–18 season was structured with the same format as the previous two seasons, with the existing ten NYL teams divided into two conferences of five teams: Conference A consists of teams from WA, SA, Victoria and Queensland, while teams from ACT and NSW are in Conference B. Teams in each conference played each other on a home and away basis, followed by a Grand Final between the top team from each conference.[3]
