Football Queensland Wide Bay is the regional office of Football Queensland servicing the areas between the Sunshine Coasty and Central Queensland, including major centres such as Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg and Monto.
Role
FQ Wide Bay was established in 2021 as part of the Future of Football 2020+ Reforms.
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. Following the consultation, FQ Wide Bay was created to better reflect the geography and strategic direction of the region.
The FQ Wide Bay regional office has local committee members which are elected by clubs to meet quarterly to discuss functional and geographical matters.
Clubs and competitions
The Premier competitions in the region are the FQPL Wide Bay Men’s and FQPL Wide Bay Women’s, both of which form part of the Central Conference in the Football Queensland pyramid.
