Rockhampton, so the team played on any available field they could find.
Over the years, Southside United Sports Club (FQ - Football Central Queensland Inc), also known as SUFC, has grown into a thriving sports club with a strong focus on community development and the promotion of soccer in the region. The club caters to players of all ages and skill levels, from junior miniroos to senior men and women. They are committed to providing a professional, positive, safe, and enjoyable environment for soccer players to develop and excel in their sport.
SUFC is located in Rockhampton, Queensland, and is proud to be a not-for-profit, community-based club. They aim to be the best community club they can be by fostering an inclusive and diverse, family-friendly atmosphere. The club believes in unity and the strength that comes from working together towards a common goal.
At SUFC, they strive to create a culture of excellence and encourage their players and coaches to learn and live by the club's core values. These values include integrity, respect, teamwork, and dedication. They believe that these values not only contribute to the success of the players on the field but also help them become better individuals off the field.
The club's history dates back to 1973 when it was formed by a group of expatriate Europeans who wanted to continue playing the game they grew up with. In the early days, the team played friendly games against various branches of the armed forces and visiting ships. They didn't have a dedicated soccer pitch in Rockhampton at the time, so they made do with whatever field they could find.
Since then, SUFC has grown tremendously and has become a significant presence in the Rockhampton soccer community. They have established strong affiliations with other clubs and organisations, allowing them to provide their members with the best opportunities for growth and development.
In addition to the on-field achievements, SUFC is proud to be involved in the local community. They have partnered with local businesses and organisations, such as Grill'd Watergardens and Schnitz Sunbury, who support the club through sponsorship. The club also participates in community programmes and events to give back to the community that has supported them throughout the years.
Whether you're a seasoned soccer player or just starting out, SUFC welcomes you to join their club and be a part of their journey. With a focus on unity, development, and community, SUFC is a place where everyone can find their strength and passion for the game.
