Sydney FC Youth is an Australian semi-professional association football team based in Sydney, New South Wales. Founded in 2008, it is the youth and reserve team of Sydney FC. The team currently plays in National Youth League and they will compete in the National Premier Leagues NSW 2 in 2016.
History
The youth team was founded in 2008, as a Sydney FC representative team for the National Youth League competition. In its first season Sydney FC won the NYL Championship in 2008/2009 with former Socceroo & NSL stalwart, Steve O'Connor as the coach. The club repeated the feat by winning the Foxtel National Youth League Championship in 2013/2014 under Head Coach and club legend, Steve Corica. In 2015/2016 Sydney FC Youth took out the Conference B Premiership and then went on the be crowned Foxtel National Youth League Champions for the third time defeating Adelaide United 5-2 in the Grand Final played at Central Coast Stadium under the leadership of Head Coach, Robert Stanton. In early 2015, it was confirmed that Sydney FC would compete in the NPL NSW 2 competition from the 2016 season onwards.[1] This followed a competition review by Football NSW that recommended the youth teams of Sydney FC, Western Sydney Wanderers and Central Coast Mariners join the National Premier Leagues. Along with a team playing first grade, an under-20 and under-18 team would also compete in their appropriate age groups. The team forms the top level of the Sydney FC academy, unveiled in January 2016.[2]
Stadium
The team's home ground is Lambert Park in the suburb of Leichhardt where they will play both NYL and NPL matches. The teams also shares Sydney FC's club's training base at Macquarie University in North Ryde.
