Football Queensland has confirmed the state teams for the 2025 Emerging Socceroos Championships, with players from across the FQ Academy program set to represent Queensland in Melbourne.
Three Under 15 and three Under 16 Queensland teams will travel to the Home of the Matildas in Melbourne, Victoria, to compete in the national tournament from Sunday, 6 July to Friday, 11 July 2025.
“We are very excited to confirm the boys state team squads for this year’s Emerging Socceroos Championships, formerly known as the National Youth Championships, as we send our state’s brightest young footballers to shine on the national stage in Victoria,” FQ Technical Director – Player Development, Tom Laxton said.
“Through our ‘One Queensland’ approach, we’ve been able to identify talent from across the state. This process included observing players at events like the FQ Academy State and Inter-Conference Carnivals, regional player matchups with our Queensland State Team program players, as well as through VEO video analysis and external scouting via our talent identification platform.
“The players selected will face some of the best young footballers in the country, gaining valuable experience and exposure as they showcase their skills in front of top-level coaches from Australian National Youth teams and A-League Academies.
“The Emerging Socceroos Championships are a significant milestone for our players. It’s a clear stepping stone from the FQ Academy to the national development system, and an exciting opportunity for our players to potentially represent Australia at the highest level in the future.
“We wish all our players the best of luck as they prepare for the tournament, and we’re looking forward to seeing what our 2025 representative squads can achieve in Melbourne.”
