ABOUT US

Queensland Independent Football (QIF) is a Social and Community Football League based throughout Brisbane that has been in existence for over 30 years.  QIF is currently operating a Sunday morning competition and a Monday night competition.

Originally known as the “Commercial League” and played on Sunday mornings, QIF has provided a stable base for teams looking for play football with their mates in a more social football setting.  While teams can be very skilful and competitive, the predominant “community spirit” of the competition prevails. 

The Sunday morning competition is held on a home and away basis across Brisbane and has teams such as Gurkha FC, United FC, Brisbane Punjabi Community Club Calamvale, Redland City FC, Spitfires FC, Singapore Lions FC, Bardon FC, West End FC, Canaipa FC (from Russell Island) and Caxton Athletic FC.  On Monday nights all games are played at Eagles Sports Complex at Mansfield, and teams from the Nepalese, Hong Kong, Afghan and Croatian communities, along with local teams competing.

QIF and its’ counterpart, the South East Queensland Football League form the largest Multicultural Football Leagues in Australia.  These competitions are administered under the Over 35s Football and Community Football Australia banner and we work pro-actively in promoting Social and Community Football to teams and players who need assistance is accessing football opportunities.  Our work includes important elements missing from other Leagues and Programs such as helping players / teams:

• organise themselves into teams / tournaments / competitions;
• access training space;
• access training equipment;
• with low cost fees;
• with appropriate kick off times during religious periods of the year;
• with Club registration costs;
• access come and try events;
• compete in National Community Tournaments;
• with governance advice;  and,
• with club development activities.

We have also registered our Teams with the Australia Sports Foundation to access donations to assist them with their registration fees, referee costs, and facility hire

Donations can be made to individual teams, with the team gaining an immediate benefit, with the knowledge that the local community is behind them in their sporting pursuits.  As the ASF has the “gift deductible recipient” status, donators receive a tax receipt which is fully tax deductible.

In running competitions such as Queensland Independent Football and the South East Queensland Football League, Community Football Australia can support additional social and community programs such as Welcoming Tournaments, the Multicultural Football League in Logan, Kicking Goals Together at Australia Catholic University and Africa United.

Supporting these programs helps develop new football teams, leaders and players, and build a bridge to established facilities and Clubs.  In some cases we are working with communities to create new Clubs and programs, and re-ignite facility use.  Feel free to visit Community Football Australia for additional information.
