Since 2018, over 500 elite players from all over Australia travelled to Cairns for the FNQ Youth Cup which combines one day of optional advanced training (the FNQ Youth Cup Invitational Camp) followed by a 3-day tournament featuring some of the best teams and academies from all over the country.

The FNQ Youth Cup is a high-level, fast and furious 7v7* format, this style of football showcases the very best in technical talent given it’s small sided format. With each team receiving a minimum of 9 x 30 minute games, every player participating will leave with very important football minutes and a truckload of priceless development in their locker.

* U13/14 and U15/16 play 6v6

The optional training camp places all participating players in age-appropriate stations for high-level training with our hand picked expert coaching panel. Each exercise goes for approximately 15 minutes before they move to the next station and coach. The unique feature of this camp is that all players are mixed, each wearing the same training shirt, giving them the opportunity to train with likeminded individuals from other regions as well as get up-close-and-personal with some of the best coaches in the country.

The 2023 FNQ Youth Cup Camp featured a massive all-star coaching line up.
