The region's football unification committee will meet today to rubber-stamp the formation of Football South Coast and approve the organisation's name, colours, logo and website.

Football South Coast has adopted a surf wave-themed logo, and the new body's colours will be green, yellow and blue.

The organisation's website, www.footballsouthcoast.com, includes links to the websites of the nine football bodies that will unite under the one banner, along with the minutes of each unification committee meeting to date.

Football South Coast was given the nod as the official name ahead of four alternatives - South Coast Football, Southern Coast Football, Southern Football and Southern NSW Football.

The new body is expected to be formed in March and be ready to run the game by June next year.

For its first two years, Football South Coast will be run by an 11-member committee consisting of an appointed chairman, four appointed directors and four elected directors.

Advertisements for the appointed board positions will appear in January.

Successful applicants will take up their posts in February.

One board member will be elected from each of the junior, men's, futsal and women's committees while Wollongong FC and Illawarra referees will both have a nominated representative.

Football NSW general manager Ian Holmes said formulating a new constitution was the last remaining hurdle for the fledgling organisation.

Holmes said it was Football NSW's preference that elected members of the new body would be from the Illawarra.

He also admitted Football NSW would have a "large" presence on the board during its formative years.

"We will have a degree of influence in the early days and step back as the body grows," Holmes said.

"We will have a strong presence to make sure things stay on track."

A memorandum of understanding to unify football in the region was signed in November last year by Wollongong FC, Illawarra Stingrays, South Coast Futsal, South Coast A-League bid and the IFA, IAFA, IWFA, IJFA and Illawarra Soccer Referees Association.
