Bathurst's premier football complex will host 64 teams - up from 61 teams in 2019 - on Saturday and Sunday, with 154 games expected to be played for the 15^th staging of the annual pre-season girls tournament.

And in that time, the Proctor Park Challenge has grown year by year, with the first edition attracting just eight teams back in 2006.

Bathurst District Football have entered two teams - in the under 12s and under 15s - while Western NSW FC will be represented in each four age groups - 12s, 14s, 15s and 17s.

Dubbo is the only other team from the Western region that will compete in the tournament, with junior girl teams enter in both the 12s and 17s.

Bathurst District Football president Andrew Speed said this weekend's tournament should be as successful as the Bathurst Cup the previous weekend.

"There's been massive support, same as always," he said.

"Sixty-four is a massive amount of teams. We've got Macarthur, Sutherland and Blacktown, they're probably favourites in most of the age groups."

Teams entered hail not just from the Central West area but clubs from right across Sydney, down the South Coast, from Wagga Wagga, Albury and Canberra.

Some of the high-profile teams that will be in attendance this weekend include NSW NPL heavyweights Blacktown City, St George, Marconi Stallions and North Shore Mariners, as well as the under 12s, 14s and 15s academy teams of W-League side Canberra United.

And while the fields at Proctor Park and Police Paddock may have got a big workout last weekend for the Bathurst Cup, Speed said the fields have recovered well.

"You could hardly tell that they'd been used," he said.

Last weekend's Bathurst Cup attracted over 1300 players, 4000 spectators and 300 support staff to the Proctor Park-Police Paddock complex.

There was 81 teams that played 176 games and scored 464 goals at the Bathurst Cup last weekend.

Western NSW FC managed to qualify for one final of the Bathurst Cup - the under 15s decider - which ended in heartbreaking fashion, with Western losing to Marconi Stalions on penalties after the match finished scoreless at the end of normal time and extra time.
