Paul Bertolissio, General Manager of Macarthur Football Association, said: “Our MYL competition will be the premier youth competition in Macarthur allowing our best players the opportunity to showcase their talents to the local football community. With support from our valued partners Deploy, we expect this competition to continue to grow in 2026 and beyond”
The Deploy MYL is more than just a new name – it’s a commitment to the future of football in our region. This competition is designed to act as a launching pad for talented young players with aspirations to progress into representative football, including the Association Youth League (AYL), National Premier Leagues (NPL 1,2, and 3), and into our elite senior competition, the Wests Group Macarthur M-League.
Andrew Head, CEO & Founder of Deploy Football, added “We’re driven to support initiatives that build, connect, and strengthen player pathways - creating real opportunities for youth to develop and progress. Deploy was born from a love for the game, with a vision to bring real value to grassroots football. We’re proud to play our part and excited to deepen our commitment and partnership with the MFA into the future.”
We extend our sincere thanks to Deploy Football for their ongoing support of grassroots football and for sharing in our vision to build a stronger, more connected development pathway.
We look forward to seeing the Deploy MYL come to life and can’t wait to watch the next generation of footballers thrive on this exciting new stage.
