- Once you have completed the course and registered to Play Football, you will be ready to officiate!
Depending on your location, football matches take place on weekends (Fridays to Sundays), with occasional midweek games played at club grounds all over Queensland.
Match payments are dependent upon your location, as well as the division and level of your match.
For more information, contact your local governing football zone.
