Football Queensland (FQ), is the governing body of football (soccer) and futsal in Queensland, Australia. The body changed its name to be more in line with the new Football Federation Australia (FFA) in 2005. It traces its history back to the establishment of the Anglo-Queensland Football Association in Brisbane, in 1884.
Football Queensland organises the only current statewide competition - the National Premier Leagues Queensland (NPL Queensland). The NPL Queensland replaced the Hyundai Queensland State League (QSL) and the State Cup, which has been held from 2004 to 2007 as an end of season tournament for teams representing the various regional zones.

Each organises its own city and regional competitions with the strongest zone being Brisbane (Brisbane Premier League).
The state is divided up into 10 administrative areas:
