Queensland football clubs welcome Football Queensland’s decision to pause the proposed 2027 Competition Access Fee (CAF) model. The pause creates an essential opportunity for further consultation before changes affecting clubs, volunteers, players and families proceed.
Over the past week, clubs across Queensland have delivered one clear message: a change of this significance cannot proceed without genuine consultation with the clubs responsible for implementing it. Before the most significant change to player registration and fee collection in many years is introduced, clubs’ concerns must be heard and addressed.
More than 140 clubs have stood together to deliver that message. Our position has been clear and consistent: the proposed CAF model risks increasing costs for players and families while shifting greater financial risk, administration and workload onto the volunteers who are the backbone of community football.
We thank FQ for listening to the collective voice of clubs and pausing the rollout. This is an important first step. Clubs are ready to engage constructively and in good faith, provided the consultation is genuine, transparent and able to shape the final outcome.
Consultation must extend beyond a small group because the consequences of these reforms will be felt statewide. Clubs from every part of Queensland should have a meaningful opportunity to participate and be heard, reflecting the breadth and diversity of the clubs and communities that sustain our game.
We call on Football Queensland to commit to a genuine statewide consultation process before any revised CAF model is finalised or implemented. The process must be open and accessible to every affiliated club, across every region of Queensland, giving all affected clubs the opportunity to understand the proposal, provide feedback and help shape the outcome.
Our clubs are united in seeking a model that protects affordability for players and families, supports rather than burdens volunteers, and is practical, transparent and sustainable for community football.
To everyone across Queensland’s football community who signed the petition and stood shoulder to shoulder with clubs: thank you. Your incredible support and solidarity helped ensure our collective voices were heard, and we are deeply grateful.
We look forward to working directly with FQ to resolve these issues and ensure the voice of Queensland’s clubs remains central to the way forward.
Our friends at HMB Barbers are looking after the Bayside United community with an exclusive offer for club members.
All BUFC members can receive 10% off haircuts, perfect for getting match-ready, freshening up before presentation events or simply keeping things sharp throughout the season.
It’s another great reason to support the local businesses that support our club.
When you’re booking your next haircut, take advantage of the offer and let the team at HMB Barbers know you’re part of the Bayside United family.
🟡⚫ SUPER SIXES IS ON TOMORROW NIGHT! The wait is over, Super Sixes kicks off tomorrow night!
Round 1 gets underway from 5:30pm, with four fast-paced rounds of football, plenty of action and a whole lot of fun.
⚽ Important: the siren will sound for kick-off, half-time and full-time, so make sure you’re on the field and ready to play and you don’t want to miss your start!
It’s all happening at Bayside United 🍕 Pizza oven on 🍺 Bar open 🥤 Canteen open 🍩 OMG Donuts and Fosty onsite with sweet treats 🎶 Live music in the clubhouse from Friday Jam Session
Parking will be extremely tight, so please consider walking or using public transport if you can. If you’re driving, allow plenty of extra time to find a park and walk to the fields.
Important Reminder Alcohol consumption must remain within our licensed areas only: - The clubhouse, including the patio - The Joe Byrne Bar, in the carport area in front of Field 1 - There is strictly no alcohol permitted outside these areas. - Alcohol in cans, plastic cups or BYO cups is not permitted.
This is our first night, so there may be a few teething issues as we get everything moving. Thanks in advance for your patience and we’ll work through it together and make it a great night for everyone.
We can’t wait to see the teams, families and supporters out there. Super Sixes is here! Let’s get amongst it. 🟡⚫
