Team of the Century

In 2006 it was decided by a group of Legends that a "Team of the Century" should be announced. Participants were invited to select their nominations for this team from players and coaches who had represented RANAFA from 1986 to 2006.

A committee was formed to co-ordinate the compilation of the "Team of the Century" with the final announcement and presentation taking place at the Queanbeyan Football Club Social Club in April 2006 to coincide with RANAFA preparations for the 2006 ASAFA carnival.
