AUSTRALIA’s best touch football players will be in action in Coffs Harbour next week as they play off for national titles.

The National Touch League is set to be played over four days from Wednesday, 8 March, to Saturday, 11 March, at the Ce.x Coffs International Stadium and surrounding fields.

The Inferno National Touch League is a nationwide tournament held annually in Coffs Harbour.

The event is set to attract over 120 teams from across Australia in a number of divisions.

Central Queensland Bulls are the defending Men’s Open champions, while the South Queensland Sharks are the defending Women’s Open champions.

Queensland was the most successful state at last year’s event winning 10 of the 17 national titles.

The National Touch League is the premier Touch Football Australia event held in March on an annual basis.

The aim of the tournament is to celebrate the ‘best against the best’; Australia’s representative Touch Football showcase and the best players competing at the elite level, striving for the prestigious national titles and Australian Squad selection and honours.

The National Touch League tournament has a longstanding affiliation with NSW and Coffs Harbour, with the event being held in the Mid-North coast region twenty-three times since the event’s inception in 1997.

The tournament is set to be held in Coffs Harbour until 2026 under the current partnership.
