Football Queensland

Football Queensland (FQ), is the governing body of football (soccer) and futsal in Queensland, Australia.

It traces its history back to the establishment of the Anglo-Queensland Football Association in Brisbane, in 1884.[1]

Below the state-wide leagues are regional zones. Currently there are ten regional zones - Brisbane, Central Queensland, Far North Queensland, Gold Coast, North Queensland, North West Queensland, South West Queensland, Sunshine Coast, Whitsunday and Wide Bay. Each organises its own city and regional competitions with the strongest zone being Brisbane (Brisbane Premier League).
