Sunshine Coast Wanderers, a representative football team competing in Statewide competitions involving over 800 women, men, girls and boys, is urgently seeking a home ground to ensure the future pathway for local talent of the most popular team sport in Australia. Sunshine Coast Wanderers are a non for profit sporting team made up of local players from local community teams stretching from Cairns to Caboolture.  They have secured many local sponsors for the existing seasons and many local businesses rely on the club for advertising and promotions. They feature regularly on the local news bulletins and are very successful both on and off the field. 

The Club is currently sharing a ground with Buderim Wanderers Football Club (Ballinger Road, Buderim ).  The fields support over 1500 people per week, and the lack of a suitable training area directly impacts all programs associated with this facility. 

 With widespread funding to other codes , including the new purpose $140m purpose-built pickleball/basketball indoor courts at Kawana, the lack of funding towards football (soccer) is unjustifiable and requires immediate action. 

 Football is a game enjoyed by boys and girls and is non-discriminatory between sex, race or size. The most popular game in the world and unfortunately the most underfunded sport per capita in Australia.  It is currently the most popular team game for girls and the most popular sport for boys.

We seek urgent help from all parties to help find a suitable venue to lease or use for the upcoming seasons of 2020 and beyond. 

We have identified a suitable parcel of land, and have engaged local experienced investment partners. We believe that only a global sport like ours can expose the Sunshine Coast Tourism, businesses and facilities to the world. We plan to leave a legacy that encapsulates our sport, our region and our community.

 Please help football get the funding it has unjustifiably been neglected in recent years.
