Virginia United reign supreme 🏆
What a season! @virginiaunitedfc have stormed to the #FQPL 3 Metro Men’s Premiership, losing only one game to date this year. This incredible run sees the club earn a well-deserved return to FQPL 2 for 2026!
Congratulations to Coach Jarrod Lane and his squad on a brilliant campaign, a true showcase of talent, teamwork, and determination.
