FQ Referee academy
Football Queensland’s commitment to enhancing referee development has led to the formation of a statewide Referee Academy for promising and dedicated young match officials.
The program enables the next generation to learn and develop as part of a supportive network while gaining valuable advice from experienced coaches.
Nominations for the 2025/26 FQ Referee Academy intake are now closed.

What a way to start the season 🏆
Gold Coast Knights have started their #NPLQLD season in fine form, securing the Football Foundation Cup with a 3-1 victory!
Tyson Martin struck first before Lions levelled just after half time. New signing Ty Cobb broke the deadlock shortly after, before Max Brown put the icing on the cake with a world class free-kick to secure all 3 points for Knights!
