Northern Territory entrants might still be 13: there are 9 from NorZone, and still not announced whether its the 4 major teams from The Alice or not. Matilda Maniac (talk) 17:05, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Four entrants from FICA (Alice Springs) - therefore same total as last year. Matilda Maniac (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NPL Champion Qualification to Round of 32

Is there a reference that backs up changes the previous format, where "the National Premier Leagues Champion of the previous year, also qualifies for the FFA Cup Round of 32" ? if this is inferred, then the recent edit to the Entry numbers and Schedule table above is WP:CRYSTALL.

This has now been revealed. Victoria gets an additional slot this year only. Matilda Maniac (talk) 11:11, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
