Our Seniors finished 3rd on the ladder and our Reserves team have won the league and remain undefeated. A huge shout to all the girls for their dedication all year round.
Also a big Thank you to our amazing coaching team Michael Anderson, Ahmad Sulaimi, Vlado Dzajkic & Frank Simovic. Your hard work has paid off, creating a wonderful environment for our girls and achieving fantastic results.
The development of our girls is one of our main goals and this year we are proud to say that we had 10 reserve players play in our senior side with 5 of those girls becoming regular starting 11 players. Also we have had 7 junior girls from our u16 team play in our reserves side.

The committee of North Geelong Warriors FC wishes to announce that it has parted ways with 2023 NPL Men’s Head Coach, Tom Gavran.
Tom stepped in and took the reigns after the resignation of Stuart Begg earlier in the season and hit the ground running.
After a transition period and some quick adapting, Tom was able to steer the young brigade through injury crisis, personnel changes and new player recruitment. Under Tom’s reign the team was able to build in confidence and start picking up points in bursts through the remainder of the season, to keep the side with a chance of top flight survival right up to the last day of the season.
Although the points on the board tell one story, the other side of that is a testament to Tom and his approach to the club’s mission of promoting from within, seeing no less than nine players from the Under 18s and Under 21s make senior debuts. We’re sure they are better prepared for what may come their way in years to come as a result of the season just experienced.
We sincerely thank Tom Gavran for his commitment and perseverance through trying times, to give the job the utmost attention and professionalism, Tom is a terrific person who will no doubt be a valuable asset to the next club or project he gets stuck into.
We wish you all the very best Tom.
North Geelong Warriors FC is proud to have achieved its first level of the Club Changer Program.
This enables our soccer club with a strategy and action plan, supported with resources to build on our future.
The club is committed to its own development amongst the development it enables for players, coaches and support crews.
With the backing of the Club Development Network we will have first and exclusive access to resources, information, webinars and events to support our growth and continue our alignment with Football Australia’s ambitious goal of achieving 50:50 gender parity in 2027, equating to the attraction and retention of over 400,000 more female participants nationwide.
We acknowledge the Wadawurrung people as the traditional owners of the land on which we play. We pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging.
