Brisbane Roar Football Club is a professional Australian soccer club based in Brisbane, Queensland. It competes in the country's premier competition, the A-League, under licence from Football Federation Australia.
The club was formed in 1958 as Hollandia-Inala, and became Brisbane Lions, before it transitioned into Queensland Roar, playing under that name from the inaugural 2005–06 season of the A-League until the 2008–09 season. Since joining the A-League, the club has won two league Premierships, three Championships and it has competed in two AFC Champions League competitions. Brisbane Roar holds the record for the longest unbeaten run at the top level of any Australian football code, which stands at 36 league matches without defeat. Brisbane Roar are also the first and only club to win back to back Hyundai A-League Championships.
The club plays matches at Suncorp Stadium, a 52,500 seat multi-use venue in Milton, with Ballymore Stadium serving as the club's training base from 2016 onwards ahead of a planned move to a purpose built, $9 million training centre in Logan. A youth team competes in the National Youth League. A women's team competes in the W-League. As of 2014, the youth and women's teams also compete in the NPL Queensland in order to maintain fitness and further develop their abilities. The youth team competes in the senior men's division while the women's team compete in the U15 boy's division. The youth and women matches are played at various locations across Brisbane, including Goodwin Park, QSAC, A.J. Kelly Park, Perry Park and occasionally Suncorp Stadium.
