FQ Academy Carnivals & Tournaments

The FQ Academy is Football Australia’s only recognised and approved advanced pathway program in Queensland for state team selection and progression to national teams.

Based locally throughout the state, the FQ Academy provides integrated advanced junior competitions, carnivals and clinics across the state paired with extensive talent identification opportunities for state and national team programs. 

The FQ Academy connects all talent across the state from advanced clubs and regional development centres, aligning with national programs for technical direction and delivery, coach education and development. It is heavily focused on club development and building capacity which drives technical outcomes through FQ’s ‘best practice’ model in player development, which includes extensive club assessment criteria and quality control measures. 

FQ Academy Advanced Centres are provided with extensive development opportunities throughout the season with players participating in regional and state carnivals.

Designed for talent identification and data gathering and to allow players to implement key skills and learning from training sessions in a game-based environment against peers from neighbouring regions.

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.
