The champions have been crowned following three days of junior football action with Gold Coast claiming the double in the girls divisions.

The grand finals brought an end to a huge Football Queensland Junior Cup carnival at Maroochydore as 1200 of the state’s best junior stars showed their class.

Gold Coast United walked away champions in the female divisions with wins over Brisbane City in the U13 girls gold cup and Lions FC in the U12 girls gold cup.

“The girls really showed their heart in this tournament and they completely deserved to get the win in the end,” Gold Coast united under-13 girls head coach Rio Darlaston said.

“We’ve had some tough games in this tournament which is a credit to all the teams in how they’ve played.”

In the male divisions, Rochedale Rovers saved their best football until the finals lifting the under-12 gold cup thanks to a win against Brisbane City.

Rochedale head coach Jose Salvo said he was extremely proud of how his side conducted themselves throughout the carnival.

“I think the junior cup is one of the best things that can happen in a weekend,” he said.

“The main thing is that it creates a good team bonding experience as they hang out and play together for the three days but the second part is implementing a results based system.

“Once we go back to club football it’s still about development, winning or losing doesn’t matter but in a competition like this it gives them a great introduction of what’s to come as they get older and the boys enjoyed it.”

The under-12 boys silver cup finished 2-2 between Gold Coast Knights and Olympic FC before Olympic snuck a crucial win on penalties.

“To see the expansion of the girls competition this year to two cups, under 12 and under 13, is a testament to clubs and regional academies’ commitment towards gender parity in our sport, and a celebration of the increased female participation from 2023 to 2024.”
