CLUBS STATEMENT – 2027 COMPETITION ACCESS FEE

Queensland football clubs welcome Football Queensland’s decision to pause the proposed 2027 Competition Access Fee (CAF) model. The pause creates an essential opportunity for further consultation before changes affecting clubs, volunteers, players and families proceed.

Over the past week, clubs across Queensland have delivered one clear message: a change of this significance cannot proceed without genuine consultation with the clubs responsible for implementing it. Before the most significant change to player registration and fee collection in many years is introduced, clubs’ concerns must be heard and addressed.

More than 140 clubs have stood together to deliver that message. Our position has been clear and consistent: the proposed CAF model risks increasing costs for players and families while shifting greater financial risk, administration and workload onto the volunteers who are the backbone of community football.

We thank FQ for listening to the collective voice of clubs and pausing the rollout. This is an important first step. Clubs are ready to engage constructively and in good faith, provided the consultation is genuine, transparent and able to shape the final outcome.

Consultation must extend beyond a small group because the consequences of these reforms will be felt statewide. Clubs from every part of Queensland should have a meaningful opportunity to participate and be heard, reflecting the breadth and diversity of the clubs and communities that sustain our game.

We call on Football Queensland to commit to a genuine statewide consultation process before any revised CAF model is finalised or implemented. The process must be open and accessible to every affiliated club, across every region of Queensland, giving all affected clubs the opportunity to understand the proposal, provide feedback and help shape the outcome.

Our clubs are united in seeking a model that protects affordability for players and families, supports rather than burdens volunteers, and is practical, transparent and sustainable for community football.

To everyone across Queensland’s football community who signed the petition and stood shoulder to shoulder with clubs: thank you. Your incredible support and solidarity helped ensure our collective voices were heard, and we are deeply grateful.

We look forward to working directly with FQ to resolve these issues and ensure the voice of Queensland’s clubs remains central to the way forward.

United clubs. A strong voice. A better outcome for football across Queensland.

Following our club statement yesterday, Teviot Downs is now working alongside more than 100 Queensland clubs seeking clarification on the proposed 2027 fee increases and how they have been determined.

This graphic shows an example of the impact on a senior team with 16 players.

You may see this issue in the media as clubs seek greater transparency and consultation. We want to keep our members informed as we work together to keep community football affordable for players and families. ⚽💙

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝.

More than 70 clubs have come together with one clear message: major decisions affecting players, families, volunteers and community clubs must be transparent, properly explained and developed through genuine consultation.

Our clubs may represent different communities, regions and competitions, but we are united in asking Football Queensland to:

• Pause the proposed 2027 Competition Access Fee model
• Pause the current Affiliation Agreement process
• Provide full financial transparency
• Consult meaningfully with affected clubs
• Work with clubs toward a fair and sustainable way forward

This is not about resisting change. It is about ensuring that change is reasonable, properly planned and does not place unfair costs, risks or administrative burdens on families and volunteer-run clubs.

We remain committed to working constructively with Football Queensland for the benefit of everyone involved in our game.

Together, our clubs are stronger. Together, our voices must be heard.

Happy Friday everyone 😊

Just wondering if anyone noticed people going through the recycling bins at Teviot Downs Soccer Club?

I came down this morning to get our can collection ready and all the cans have been taken from six bins. Just the rubbish left behind.

Obviously someone needed the refund money more than our community soccer club did. But next time, if you wouldn’t mind popping the rubbish in the general waste bin as well, that would be appreciated 😂

Interesting times!
