FQ Academy Events
The FQ Academy is Football Australia’s only recognised and approved advanced player pathway program for state team selection and progression to national teams for Queensland footballers aged seven to seventeen.
FQ Academy Advanced Centres are provided with extensive development opportunities throughout the season with players participating in regional and state carnivals.
These carnivals are essential for players to express their skills in a game-based environment and for FQ Academy coaches to track player development as part of the year-long talent identification process.
