DELIVERING OPPORTUNITIES FOR TALENTED QUEENSLANDERS
Football Queensland undertakes a long-term, repetitive and rigorous talent identification process for FQ Academy players.
Each player’s development is captured through FQ’s Talent Identification Database, a system that tracks and categorises players based on their football attributes and physical measures to provide the best opportunities for talented Queenslanders.
This database is accessible to state and national team coaches to provide them with in-depth insights and provides players with a unique identifier to support their progression to state and national teams.

The Pathway to National Teams
Talent Identification Events
FQ Academy events held throughout the year play an important role in the talent identification process.
Football Queensland has released the Stakeholder Engagement Calendar for 2026, detailing key milestones and frequency of meetings with clubs, referees and region committees as FQ continues to drive towards its club centric, customer service model with consistent and regular engagement with members of the football community in every region across the state 📅
This extensive statewide engagement, supported by the implementation of FQ`s new Customer Service Booking Portal housed on the FQ Club Support Hub, will culminate in October`s Queensland Football Convention as participants and clubs come together to shape the future of the game.
Get set for the new season with our Club Support Hub resources on the FQ website.
