Talent Identification

DELIVERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TALENTED QUEENSLANDERS

Football Queensland undertakes a long-term, repetitive and rigorous talent identification process for FQ Academy players. 

Each player’s development is captured through FQ’s Talent Identification Database, a system that tracks and categorises players based on their football attributes and physical measures to provide the best opportunities for talented Queenslanders. 

This database is accessible to state and national team coaches to provide them with in-depth insights and provides players with a unique identifier to support their progression to state and national teams.

How FQ Identifies Talent

  • Player Identification

    Players are identified by their club or FQ talent identification staff from the age of 12 to 21

  • Database Logging

    Players are logged in the talent ID database and tracked over time

  • Performance Tracking Measures

    A player's football attributes and physical measures are monitored in conjunction with clubs and FQ Academy Centres

  • Invitation to Camps and Events

    Based on performance players are invited to attend state and National events and identification camps

  • Professional Career

    Player's data can be accessed by state and national team coaches that work with professional clubs

Talent Identification Events

FQ Academy events held throughout the year play an important role in the talent identification process.

  • Talent Recognition

    Talent recognition occurs at the FQ Academy State Carnival which is held in April with FQ Academy regional centres and FQ Academy QAS players competing to earn selection on state teams.

  • Talent Validation

    Talent validation is completed at the National Youth Championships in July where state and territory team players from across Australia compete to be earmarked for national team representation.

  • Talent Verification

    Talent verification takes place at the FQ Academy State Championships held in July and September allowing FQ Academy Tier 1 clubs to compete against FQ Academy Centres.
