Fueling Future Champions at Queenstown AFC! ⚽🍔

Big shoutout to McDonald's Queenstown and Frankton for going above and beyond this season. They haven't just sponsored one team—they've backed TWO (U8.2 and U9.4), plus two of our dedicated coaches, and even stepped in to help a young player who needed a little extra support to get on the pitch.

That's the kind of community spirit we love. It's not just about the logo on the jersey—it's about making sure every child who wants to play football gets the chance to.

To our U8.2 and U9.4 squads: Keep running, keep smiling, keep playing hard! And to our McDonalds in Queenstown, a huge thank you for being more than a sponsor—you're part of our football family. 🙌

Every goal starts with someone believing in you. Thanks for believing in ours.

Adventures on the Pitch, Adventures Off It. ⛰️⚽⛺

A huge thank you to Franz Josef Top 10 Holiday Park for stepping up as the proud sponsor of our 8.2 team at Queenstown AFC.

Just as a great holiday park provides the perfect basecamp for exploring the wild beauty of the West Coast — comfort, community, and a sense of adventure around every corner — our 8.2 squad is learning that success on the field comes from that same spirit of preparation and togetherness. These players are building momentum, embracing challenges head-on, and discovering that the journey is just as important as the destination.

We're thrilled to have Franz Josef Top 10 Holiday Park backing our 8.2s! As you can see in the photo above, the team is ready to represent our local partners with pride and energy. Their commitment to creating memorable experiences mirrors the passion our athletes bring to every training session and match.

👏 Franz Josef Top 10 Holiday Park: Thanks for being part of our journey and for supporting our local talent.

Built Strong: The Steel Behind Our Squad. ⚙️⚽

At Queenstown AFC, we believe in building a foundation that lasts. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to have Lakeside Stainless Ltd. as a key partner for our Under 9.3s team.

As locally owned specialists in custom stainless steel and metal fabrication, the team at Lakeside knows a thing or two about strength, resilience, and crafting something that stands the test of time. Those are exactly the qualities we’re nurturing in our players.

From the custom fabrication in their workshop to the custom plays on our pitch, there’s a shared commitment to quality and local pride. Lakeside Stainless isn’t just putting a logo on a jersey; they are helping to build the structural integrity of our community’s future stars.

Here’s to a season of strong defenses, solid teamwork, and a club that’s built to last.

💪 TRU Womens Gym and the new away strip! ⚽

Our U9/10 girls team is proudly sponsored by Tru Womens Gym. These young athletes show exactly what it means to be strong, confident, and supportive of one another on the pitch.

A massive thank you to Tru Womens Gym for backing our girls. As a women's-only gym, they have created a modern, welcoming space where women feel comfortable to lift, build strength, and just get started.

Their motto—"It's more than a gym. It's a space where women support each other, show up for themselves, and grow, physically and mentally"—resonates deeply with our club. 🌸⚽

We see that same spirit in our U9/10 girls: supporting teammates, showing up with courage, and growing together as a team.

👏 Girls: Keep showing up for yourselves and each other!

👏 To Tru Womens Gym: Thank you for empowering our next generation of female athletes.

Here's to strength, confidence, and a community that lifts each other up!

A Huge Thank You to Iuri – Joga Bonito Futsal Academy 🙌⚽

We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to Iuri, who has been the heart and soul behind Queenstown AFC's Term 3 futsal program for the past few years.

Under Iuri's guidance, countless kids have grown not just as players, but as confident individuals who love the game. His patience, energy, and genuine care for every child have left an indelible mark on our club and community.

Now, as Iuri prepares to leave this weekend and embark on a new chapter with his family in Australia, we want to send him off with all our appreciation and best wishes. While we're sad to see him go to those warmer climates, we're thrilled for him and his family's next adventure.

Iuri, thank you for everything you've given to Queenstown AFC and to the kids who've had the privilege of learning from you. Your legacy here will continue through the players you've inspired.

Safe travels, and know that you'll always have a home here in Queenstown! 🇦🇺✈️

Today, on World Football Day, we celebrate more than just the game. We celebrate the people who make it possible.

At Queenstown AFC, football is about community — players, coaches, volunteers, families, supporters, and sponsors all coming together to create something special both on and off the pitch.

To our players who wear the badge with pride, our coaches and volunteers who give their time so generously, and the families who spend countless hours supporting from the sidelines — thank you. Your passion and commitment are the heartbeat of our club.

A huge thank you as well to all of our sponsors and partners. Your support helps provide opportunities for our players, strengthens our club, and keeps our football community thriving.

Today, we celebrate the power of football to connect people, create friendships, and bring communities together.

Happy World Football Day ⚽💙

🏠 Home Day at Queenstown! ⚽

What a fantastic atmosphere for our latest match day here at Queenstown AFC. Since it was Mother's Day, we paused the action for a special moment: our U12 BDO team players gathered on the pitch with their mums for a group photo. 📸💐

It was a beautiful reminder that behind every young player is a family cheering them on.

A huge thank you to our team sponsor, BDO, for supporting our U12s and helping us make this day extra special. As a thank you to our own community, BDO offers a complimentary Business Health Check to all QAFC members and supporters!

🎁 Exclusive for QAFC Fans: If you run a local business or just want some financial guidance, BDO is offering a free session to our club family.

👉 How to claim: Comment below or DM us, and we'll connect you with the team to book your spot.

Thank you to the mums, the players, and everyone who came out to support our home day!

A Special Mother's Day at Queenstown AFC ❤️⚽

✅ Contribute to the future of our club through our fundraising efforts

Whether you're a die-hard fan or just looking for a lovely Sunday outing, we'd love to see you there. Let's make this a memorable Mother's Day for all our Queenstown families!
