fq welcome

Welcome to Nobridge Park, for this year’s FQ Academy Regional Carnival!

This event brings together talented players from Central Coast, Wide Bay, and the Whitsunday Coast, offering them the chance to compete against peers from other regions. It’s a fantastic opportunity for players to demonstrate their development, creativity, and resilience in a competitive yet supportive environment.

Our technical staff will be closely observing performances, using these insights to assess individual progression and guide future development. These match days are not about results – they’re about learning, improving, and embracing challenges.

We all share the responsibility of creating a positive and respectful atmosphere. Coaches, parents, referees, and supporters play a vital role in encouraging players to express themselves and take risks on the pitch. Let’s work together to ensure this carnival is a positive experience for everyone involved.

Best of luck to all players, coaches, and referees. We look forward to seeing your passion and talent on display.

Senior Manager – Technical - Central Conference
