Football Queensland Sunshine Coast is the governing body of football (soccer) on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. It is a member zone of Football Queensland and Football Federation Australia.
History
The first recorded game of association football on the then North Coast occurred in July 1920.
The North Coast Football Association (NCFA) was formed in April 1921 at a meeting in Palmwoods. At that time, four clubs were affiliated with the NCFA: Buderim, Mapleton, North Arm and Palmwoods.
FQ Sunshine Coast was initially established as the North Coast Soccer Association in 1968. Teams from Caloundra and Woombye were soon formed, joined later that year by Maroochydore and Beerwah (now Beerwah-Glasshouse United). Club numbers have continued to expand and as of 2018 the Sunshine Coast Football Zone now incorporates more than 6,000 players in 18 clubs stretching from Bribie Island in the south to Gympie in the north.
As part of the reform journey, the local football community was invited to engage in a six-month state-wide consultation process based on improving four key areas of the game: governance, administration, competitions and affordability.
