The election of a Tasmanian to a new association representing soccer clubs in the National Premier League (NPL) may help pave the way for local clubs entering the competition.

South Hobart FC president Victoria Morton is one of eight board members of the newly formed Association of Australian Football Clubs (AAFC).

She was elected as deputy chairperson at the association's inaugural annual general meeting.

"We want to have representation for smaller states and the fact I came from Tasmania may have in fact been helpful," she said.

A key objective of the association is pursuing the development of a national second-tier competition in which Tasmanian clubs would participate.

A meeting in Brisbane on July 15 will determine how a second-tier competition would look.

If successful, it is likely one or more existing clubs would take part in the new competition, rather than a composite Tasmanian team.

"I'm not in favour of creating a new franchise," she said.

"Hopefully among the clubs down there there's enough potential and energy from a club, or even two, that would like to get into the second tier of football."

It is believed South Hobart, Olympia Warriors FC and Devonport are all interested in playing in a new national competition.

Football Federation Tasmania agrees that a newly formed state team is not the way forward.

"It would not be our intention for Tasmania to be represented by a state team in any second-tier competition," CEO Mike Palmer said.

The governing body wants more detail before fully backing a national second tier.

"Before we would fully endorse a national second tier we would seek to understand the costs associated with any proposal and how it would be sustainable," Mr Palmer said.

But first, the AAFC needs a seat at the table with the Football Federation of Australia (FFA).

It is hoping to gain representation at the FFA Congress, alongside bodies representing referees and Futsal.

"Before we even think about a second division, we need a voice at the highest level," Ms Morton said.

A-League consortium goes to ground

Tasmanian representation in a national B-League or A2 would be independent of any future Tasmanian A-League team.

Last year it was revealed a consortium headed by Melbourne property developer Harry Stamoulis wanted to place an A-League team in the state.

Hobart City Council general manager Nick Heath told the ABC the "door isn't shut" on a rectangular stadium being built on the Domain.

The consortium presented council with concept plans for a 15,000-seat stadium earlier this year, but has since gone to ground.

"Our door remains open to any proposal, but we are yet to hear back from the consortium since the initial briefing," Mr Heath said.

All eight of Tasmania's NPL clubs are members of the AAFC.

The AAFC represents the interests of more than 30,000 male and female players across 100 NPL clubs across the country.
