FFV NTC

The Football Federation Victoria National Training Centre (FFV NTC) is run by Football Federation Australia and Football Federation Victoria, in Melbourne, for Victorian youth players.

The team competes regularly in the National Premier Leagues Victoria Under 18 East division,[1] which acts as preparation for the FFA National Institute Challenge in December of each year.

The NTC squad, led by coach Boris Seroshtan won its first National Institute Challenge in December 2013 without losing a single game, finishing six points clear of Football New South Wales NTC.

One of the star performers, Jake Brimmer has since gone on to sign for English football giants Liverpool F.C., as well as making nine appearances for the Australian Under-17s squad.

Despite losing the core of its squad for the 2014 edition of the National Institute Challenge, the Victoria NTC defied the odds to win a second consecutive title,[2] losing only once on its way to beating Queensland Academy of Sport by two points.
