The estimated cost for the NPL Premiers so far will be $250k. This is outside of Football Australia covering costs of 20 players and coaches for travel and accommodation (1 night only). Similar to the Australia Cup.
Those costs associated were determined at the last meeting of NSD clubs for match officials, security (huge number), hosting fees, affiliation fees and requirements from Football Australia. Doesn’t include player wages, that would be on top for any clubs playing.
There is currently no sponsor or TV deal for this tournament.
