Football Queensland has today confirmed the state team squads for the 2023 National Youth Championships for Girls, with players from across the statewide FQ Academy program set to represent Queensland.
An Under 14 and Under 16 squad will travel to participate in the national tournament from Monday, 9 October to Friday, 13 October 2023 in Wollongong.
“Football Queensland is excited to announce our state team squads for this year’s National Youth Championships for Girls as our most promising young Queenslanders get the opportunity to showcase their skills on the national stage,” FQ Manager – Football Queensland Academy QAS Isaka Cernak said.
“Our Queensland squads feature players from across the FQ Academy QAS program, each of the five FQ Academy regional centres and a number of FQ Academy Queensland clubs, with players identified through an extensive selection process that included over 2,000 formal player assessments for more than 700 boys and girls across six regional and state FQ Academy carnivals.
“After our state teams excelled at the 2022 edition of the tournament with our Under 16 Queensland Girls crowned Champions and our Under 14 Queensland Maroon Girls making it all the way to the Final, we can’t wait to see what our representative squads can achieve this year.
“Queensland also has a proud history of producing players for the CommBank Matildas, including 10 of the players in the current squad for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™, and the National Youth Championships provide an important stepping stone for our young female footballers on the pathway to selection for Australia’s national teams.”
