Football Queensland has partnered with World Sport Action (WSA), who will be the Competition Management software solutions provider for the 2023 and 2024 football seasons in Queensland.

The online competition management solution for World Action Sport is called Squadi, which is accessible online and also through Google Play and the App Store.

Squadi includes every set of arrangements of football competitions in Queensland, such as the following:

  • Futsal
  • Advanced Football Competitions (includes FQPL/FQ Academy)
  • Community competitions (MiniRoos, Juniors, Seniors Divisional)
  • Social
  • Programs
  • Referees

World Sport has adapted and modified Squadi to streamline all features of football in one single competition management system, such as referee appointments, fixture lists, results, standings, statistics, disciplinary functions, online team sheets and a match day resolution – eliminating unnecessary replication of effort for the clubs, participants as well as volunteers.

The Play Football program will continue as the National Registration System in accordance with the National Registration, Status and Transfer Regulations for the 2023 season under the agreement with Football Australia.

Removing the complexities from registrations in Play Football, those that are involved will be directed to Squadi for which they will create a profile to be used for online team line ups and also all other characteristics of the competition management system.

All payments counting Governing Body Fees for 2023 Football Queensland tournaments are compulsory for it to be paid online as it is part of the process for Squadi, in need of the selection of the specific competition or product by the participant, several options are available including that of the instalment payment plans.

Once the individual has completed a profile in Squadi and the competition product is selected, the entrant will then be permitted to compete in football in 2023.

FQ and WSA will be providing a means of entry to Squadi for all clubs this month, online training, troubleshooting along with user setup will be managed with the clubs all through this December and early January as Football Queensland and WSA deliver a series of events across the state together with workshops in each regional area.

Football Queensland will carry on with exploring opportunities for a user-friendly system and processes to further develop the users experience, and to make sure participants have easy access to football across the state.

Clifton Hill FC Set for New Era as Pavilion Upgrade Nears Completion

Community football in Melbourne’s inner north is set for a major boost, with Clifton Hill FC preparing to usher in a new chapter following the redevelopment of its pavilion at Quarries Park.

The upgraded facility, delivered with support from Yarra City Council, is expected to significantly enhance the matchday and training experience for players, families, and volunteers while supporting the club’s continued growth.

A long awaited upgrade for Clifton Hill FC

Club President Michael Tyrikos said the redevelopment represents a long-awaited milestone for the grassroots club.

“We’ve been waiting close to 10 years for this,” Tyrikos told SoccerScene. “I’ve been involved with the club for over two decades and improving the facilities has always been a major goal for us.”

The new pavilion replaces previously limited amenities, with the club formerly operating with just two change rooms and minimal communal space. The upgraded facility will provide modern change rooms, social areas, and improved spectator amenities.

Supporting growth in participation

Tyrikos explained the redevelopment will be particularly significant in supporting participation growth, including the club’s expanding girls’ program.

“Previously, we only had two change rooms, which made it difficult as our girls’ program continued to grow,” he said. “Now players can feel comfortable using proper facilities with access to showers and dedicated spaces, which is something we simply didn’t have before.”

Beyond player development, the pavilion is also expected to strengthen the club’s role as a community hub. The addition of indoor social spaces will allow families to engage more closely with the club environment, particularly during Melbourne’s winter months.

“Parents can now sit inside and watch games, and we can finally host club events, kids’ parties, and social gatherings,” Tyrikos said. “Before, we just didn’t have the capacity to bring people together like that.”

A new era at Quarries Park

Tyrikos also acknowledged the broader infrastructure improvements delivered alongside the pavilion redevelopment, including new lighting towers and an upgraded playing surface, highlighting the importance of council support in driving the project forward.

Clifton Hill FC is hopeful the new pavilion will be operational in time for its anticipated first home fixture scheduled for mid-May, marking the beginning of a new era for the community-focused club.
