1964 NSW Federation Cup
Football tournament season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1964 NSW Federation Cup was the eighth edition of the NSW Soccer Federation's premier soccer cup. The federation offered £1000 prize money for the tournament to try attract more support which had been falling in previous years. It was also renamed the Henry Seamonds Trophy to commemorate the late Australian and NSW Federation president. The cup was open to all clubs in the first and second divisions for the first time.[1] The Federation also decided that the winner of the cup would automatically qualify as a representative for the Australia Cup.[2]
