The Sun Never Sets on Football!
Summer Football is one of the most popular off-season social programs for men and women, with junior and senior competitions delivered by Football Queensland and clubs across the state.
The revised social format involves smaller fields with teams of up to 7 players to create a fun, social environment for you to enjoy playing the world game with your friends throughout summer. Find a program to join below.
