Supporting Local Venues and Programs
The University of Queensland recently opened The Pavilion at its St Lucia campus as a new multi-sport venue primarily serving AFL and soccer clubs. St James College in Brisbane became the first local home of Liverpool Football Club International while also launching a 2026 Rugby League Excellence Program. These facilities and initiatives provide additional playing and development options for amateur participants in the region.
