The newly introduced Metro League is an open age/senior competition administered by Football Queensland. This competition offers competitive football at a range of levels, and the opportunity to improve and develop.

UQFC competes in both men's and women's Metro League competitions, and are consistently top performers.  

In 2021 UQFC fielded teams in five men's Metro League and five women's Metro League divisions.

Home games are played at the UQ St Lucia campus.  Games can be played on either Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday depending on Football Queensland scheduling, following a home and away format.  

Training for men's and women's Metro League runs on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night between 6:00pm and 9:00pm and run for 90 minutes.

Trials for Metro League start in January.  Each team has an appropriately qualified coach to conduct training sessions and manage game-day administration.

Note that women may start playing Metro League football in the calendar year of their 16th birthday.  Younger players may also be allowed to play if they receive parental approval and Football Queensland exemption.  For men, UQFC also offers a U18 Metro Divisional and U20 Metro Divisional squads - see below for further details.

UQFC fields teams in the men's over 35 competitions in divisions 1, 2 and 4 and in division 1 in the women's Legends league competition (over 30's), offering a pathway for players to continue their career as they age.  

Games for the men are usually held on a Friday night, and for women on a Wednesday night, depending on Football Queensland scheduling.  Games follow standard FIFA rules with a couple of modifications such as shorter halves (2 x 40 minutes) and unlimited interchange.

The UQFC Social League provides an alternative for players on UQ campus who can't commit to training and playing every week in the club competition.  The league offers a good standard of football, but in a less competitive manner and over a shorter season.

The competition runs in line with the university semesers and takes place in semester 1 and 2.  Games are played on field 9 on Sundays between 8:00am and 7:00pm.  

The competition is mixed with no minimum on the number of male/female players per team.  It follows an 11-a-side format and guarantees every team nine games over 10 weeks.  

You may register as a team, a group of players or individually.  Registrants must be 17 years or older but do not need to be a UQ student.  Fees are $215 per player, per semester.  The minimum number of players per team is 14, with a maximum of 18.
