UQFC
The University of Queensland Football Club Inc. (UQFC) is the largest football club in Queensland. We are nationally accredited by Good Sports Australia and the Football Federation of Australia for our commitment to healthy and active participation and high performance in Australian football programs.
We encourage all players and volunteers, from grass-roots to elite levels, to get the most out of this great game and to play the best football they can.
Our members enjoy the game from ages 5 to adulthood (and beyond), with all players joining teams ranging from junior participation and development teams, to the highest Premier & City League teams as well as our own social football programs (which are especially suited to students during semesters).
Most teams compete within Football Brisbane or Football Queensland competitions, where we boast both Men's & Women's Premier League teams as well as our PS4 National Women's Premier League teams starting within our highly ranked junior football programs.
Our junior teams lead the way, with UQFC Mini-Roos (U6-U8) playing our unique 'at-home' leagues before growing into our U9's and above teams that play games across Brisbane.

Football Brisbane
To our valued participants in our wonderful game,
It appears as though we are getting closer to being in a position in providing you with more certainty regarding a return to football.
As many of you would have seen yesterday, both the Prime Minister and Premier of Queensland made announcements regarding COVID-19 recovery roadmaps including the return of community sport.
As has been made clear throughout this crisis, while the Federal Government provides national guidelines, it is ultimately the Queensland State Government that will have the final decision on how this will occur within our state.
Our state governing body, Football Queensland has been in constant discussions with the State Government around the return of football. Football Queensland will continue to have these discussions and once finalised, will produce a set of guidelines that will provide certainty to clubs and participants around how operations will look for the recommencement of the 2020 season. It's important to reiterate that until we learn further from Football Queensland as a result of their discussions with government, all football activities continue to remain suspended.
Football Brisbane meets with our clubs on a fortnightly basis to provide them with updates of the latest information and we had our latest meeting during the course of the most recent week. I'd like to thanks our clubs for their cooperative and collaborative approach they have taken in these forums with their primary aim firmly focused on how we get people back playing the game they love.
Once the Football Queensland guidelines have been finalised, we will organise a meeting with our clubs as soon as possible so that they can begin their preparations and football can resume as quickly as possible while remaining compliant with government requirements.
The light at the end of the tunnel appears to be becoming brighter and larger and we're hopeful of getting you running around and kicking a ball as soon as it is possible.
Regards
Rafe Griffin - General Manager
