IKFC Achieves Silver Rated Academy Status!

We are thrilled to announce that Ipswich Knights FC has officially been confirmed as a Silver Rated Academy! This is an incredible achievement for our club and a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our players, coaches, staff and loyal members.
Each FQ Academy club is provided an FQ Club Assessment score which reflects the culmination of a season long process and is rated Gold, Silver, Bronze or Development Committed, which is determined when a club assessment score hits a minimum threshold score.
The FQ Club Shield system is an initiative designed to improve club accountability, transparency and visibility for participants and parents while giving clubs a meaningful platform to celebrate success and growth in their technical development standards. The Gold, Silver and Bronze Star representations are based on a number of factors including extensive technical assessments undertaken by FQ’s Club Development Unit.
League structures for the 2025 season are still to be confirmed by Football Qld, however this recognition reflects our club's continued efforts to provide high-quality training, development pathways, and opportunities for young talent in line with Football Queensland's academy standards.
As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing this exciting journey together, as we build towards even greater success and providing even more opportunities for our players to develop their skills and passion for the game. We are excited about what the future holds for the Ipswich Knights and we want to thank you for your unwavering support in helping us achieve this milestone.
We are still welcoming trial applicants - please email juniors@ipswichknights.org.au
