Following today’s announcement by the Queensland Government of the lifting of lockdown restrictions across parts of Queensland from 6pm tonight, Friday 2 July, Football Queensland has issued an update for all participants and clubs.
Due to the 24-hour extension of the lockdown in Brisbane and Moreton Bay LGAs, the suspension of football activity in these areas has been extended until 11:59pm tomorrow, Saturday 3 July.
All NPL Men’s, NPL Women’s, FQPL 1 and FQPL 2 matches scheduled for this Saturday, 3 July and Sunday, 4 July have therefore been postponed.
The C Licence coaching course scheduled to be held at Meakin Park this weekend has also been postponed due to the lockdown extension in parts of South East Queensland.

In line with the easing of restrictions in parts of SEQ, clubs in the listed LGAs should follow the advice of their zone regarding participation in local competitions this weekend.
