Six action-packed days of football
Football Queensland will welcome junior teams from across the state, country and overseas this September and October as we host the 2025 Pacific Championships for the second year at Maroochydore FC and Ballinger Park on the Sunshine Coast in partnership with Sunshine Coast Council.
Welcome to the Pacific Championships
On behalf of Football Queensland, I’d like to welcome all players, coaches, referees, and families to the Sunshine Coast for the 2025 Pacific Championships.
Over six days across Maroochydore FC and Sunshine Coast Wanderers FC, the Pacific Junior Championships and the State of Origin Cup will bring together some of the strongest young talent in Queensland and beyond.
The tournament gives players the chance to test themselves against peers from across the state and visiting interstate Member Federation teams. For many, it is an important step on the pathway to representative teams as Football Queensland and Football Australia technical and coaching staff use this tournament to identify and support players as they develop and move toward state-level recognition.
Football Queensland would like to extend a big thank you to Sunshine Coast Council and Visit Sunshine Coast for their ongoing support in helping us create a tournament that our young players will remember for years to come.
I hope everyone will enjoy their time on the Sunshine Coast. Whether it is spending time at the beach, exploring the hinterland, or simply sharing moments with teammates on the sidelines, there is plenty to experience throughout the scenic region.
To all the players, coaches, and referees: enjoy the competition, play hard, and have fun. I can’t wait to see the talent and passion on display at the 2025 Pacific Championships.
