The Australian football system
Australia's senior club football runs through the National Premier Leagues (NPL) in each state, sitting below the A-League. NPL clubs regularly run trials and intake days, particularly in the off-season.
Eligibility for international players
- Many Australian clubs welcome international players at trials.
- Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the length of stay.
- Some clubs can provide support for players they intend to sign.
What to expect at an Australian trial
Trials usually combine fitness testing, technical drills and match play. Coaches assess your ability to perform in a competitive environment over one or more sessions.
