Talent Identification - Football Queensland

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.

Talent Recognition

Talent recognition occurs at the FQ Academy State Carnival which is held in April with FQ Academy regional centres and FQ Academy QAS players competing to earn selection on state teams.
Talent Validation

Talent validation is completed at the Emerging Socceroos and Emerging Matildas Championships in July where state and territory team players from across Australia compete to be earmarked for national team representation.
Talent Verification

Talent verification takes place at the FQ Academy State Championships held in July and September allowing FQ Academy Tier 1 clubs to compete against FQ Academy Centres.
