The District of Origin is back, now with a tour from top to bottom of our mighty continent. 17 matches between 10 teams. It all kicks of with the launch at the currently under construction Eucalyptus Arena. The ceremony will be live on 305 Sport.

It has been a long time since the District of Origin was introduced and then, cut out. But the FCFL has been preparing and crowds and tv numbers are set to score highly. It was introduced in the off-season of the first ever FCFL season as a few matches between the Rainforest, Bushlands, City and Forest districts. It scored alright with the audience, but not nearly as high as the FCFL home and away season and the finals series. A year after, it was discontinued.

But, The District of Origin is back and with every district with a decent football revenue introduced. All major FCFL venues like The Bowl and Queen’s Palace Stadium and small ones like Rocky Cliffs Reserve in the west and Gumnut Grove in the northern city get featured.

Teams are the following: Mountains, City, Swamp, Bushlands, Rainforest, Plains, Coast, Forest, Desert and River. No matter where your from, there is somewhere you can support.

The first match is at Mountain Ash Arena, between the Mountains and the City.
