HOW IT WORKS:
Step 1: Submit your Expression of Interest now, this is the most important step. It is what lets us build your team in Majestri in advance, so registration is fast and simple once it opens. If you already have a full squad, submit it now to guarantee your team is ready to go. If you do not have a team yet, submit your Expression of Interest as a solo player, this form is also how we capture solo players and match you with others to form a team.

Step 2: We use every Expression of Interest, team and solo, to build teams ahead of registration opening.
Step 3: Registration opens Monday 31 August 2026. Each player, or a parent/guardian for Juniors, receives their own registration link and registers and pays individually.
Step 4: Missed the Expression of Interest and need a team set up after registration has already opened? Email us at admin@virginiaunitedfc.com.au and we will create it for you.
Step 5: Complete your registration to lock in your place. Seniors kick off Monday 12 October 2026, Juniors kick off Friday 16 October 2026.

This competition is run by Virginia United FC outside Football Queensland sanctioned competition, so it is not covered by FQ insurance. We recommend all participants arrange their own personal accident and injury insurance if they would like cover before taking part.

IMPORTANT INFO (JUNIORS):
As the weeks go by, our team will monitor results and assist with managing divisions where needed to ensure games are competitive. Whilst there is no official league ladder, we track scores to lead towards a finals week where we've aligned teams based on the results for the ultimate finish to the 5-a-side season!
