social football for women & girls
Girls United Social Football is all about creating fun, social football environments for women and girls to boost their confidence, build fitness and make friends.
Formats are flexible, including programs to develop skills, as well as social competitions and carnivals. Women and girls of all skill and experience levels are encouraged to attend, with sessions focusing on fun and enjoyment.
A great option for women who haven’t got the time to commit to the traditional training and game format of club football, or for those who want to build their skills and confidence before moving into a club football team.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact us at womenandgirls@footballqueensland.com.au
What is Girls United?
Girls United social sessions provide women and girls with a soft entry to football through weekly sessions focused on fun football games that teach basic skills. Social sessions provide an alternative option for women to start their football journey before progressing to competitive football.
Leagues
Girls United Leagues offer women and girls a flexible, low-time commitment way to play football through a modified, social competition format. Hosted at centralised venues and clubs throughout Queensland, the leagues are ideal for those who are new to football, returning after time away or simply looking for a fun, welcoming, all-female environment focused on enjoyment and connection.
Schools
Hosted at schools statewide, Girls United Schools is an entry-level program for girls involving a series of 4 gamified skill sessions that aim to teach football skills in a fun and engaging way.

Following feedback from the community and after further consultation with the Football Queensland Congress, the FQ Board has confirmed it will retain the existing 2026 fee structure for the 2027 season.
After seven years without an increase to player enrolment fees, modest adjustments have been made for 2027 to reflect inflation and changes in how transaction and technology costs are treated. We know decisions like these have a real impact on people across our game.
We are committed to acting in the best interests of the game, while listening carefully to our community. We won’t always get things right, and in this case we accept that we could have done better. When we need to, we are prepared to do things differently, reconsider our approach and keep working towards the best outcome for football across Queensland.
Find out more on the FQ website.

From grassroots football to representing Australia as Socceroo No. 542, Robbie Kruse’s journey has been shaped by the people around him. 👏
At the #QLDFootballConvention, Robbie explored the making of a professional footballer and reflected on the vital role coaches play, not only in developing talent, but in guiding players as people.
