PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues (PS4 NPL) has kicked off Episode One of an 8-part bio-series, Ones to Watch, which broadcast live in last night’s Westfield FFA Cup on Fox Sports.
Hosted by football expert Adam Peacock, The Ones to Watch series profiles some of Australia’s best young footballers, uncovering potential contenders for selection in the inaugural PS4 Player Pathway Award. The winner of this Award will go on to trial with Sydney FC’s Youth League team and their chance to live out their football dreams.
The Ones to Watch documentary series profiles eight of Australia’s undiscovered football stars, documenting their football history, their community, their PS4 NPL club and how these combine to drive players and evolve their football careers.
The PS4 Player Pathway Award, announced at the kick off the 2016 season, gives 24 aspiring footballers in the league a shot at a professional career. The winner of the two-day training camp held at Valentine Sports Park, home of Football New South Wales, will earn a trial with Sydney FC’s Youth League team.
‘Getting on the road and filming the Ones to Watch series was fantastic. Visiting each competing PS4 NPL Member Federation reaffirmed to me how important this level of football is in Australia. Although only 8 PS4 NPL clubs are being showcased, I am really looking forward to Australia getting to know the next generation of Australian football superstars and all those that help make this dream a reality,’ said Ones to Watch host, Adam Peacock.
The PS4 Player Pathway Award, the culmination of the Ones to Watch series, incorporates Australian football’s elite coaches and personalities, with the judging panel including FFA Technical Director Eric Abrams, former Socceroos skipper and NPL ambassador John Kosmina, and Sydney FC Youth Coach Rob Stanton.
Every Ones to Watch episode will be broadcast live during Fox Sports coverage of the Westfield FFA Cup.
