History


Sunshine Coast FC were founded in 2007 by Noel Woodall in order to participate in the inaugural season of the Queensland State League, a competition designed to bridge the gap between the A-League and the various regional and city-based leagues across Queensland.[1]


Sunshine Coast kicked off in the new competition in March 2008, finding instant success as the club managed to win the inaugural Queensland State League Grand Final by defeating the Brisbane Strikers 1–0 through a goal from Bryan Gilfillan.[2] However, after a run of injuries and difficulty in getting permits for foreign players, the Fire have had a less successful season in 2009, placed 3rd from 11 teams after 20 games, on 41 points.[3]


In 2010 the Club again captured the Premiership and Championship. Former head coach Richard Hudson led the Fire to the 2012 QSL Grand Final where they would capture the final Championship before the new National Premier League. Kevin Aherne-Evans took over from Richard Hudson as head coach for the 2013 and 2014 NPL Queensland seasons, before being replaced in 2015 by Paul Arnison.[4]


In 2016 the clubs form began to drop with an 11th place finish followed by last place finishes in 2017 & 2018. Midway through the 2018 season the club replaced former Head Coach Ali Demircam with QSL winner Richard Hudson who returned to the club after a 6 year hiatus. [5]


The club currently have a very successful youth programme (Players aged 12-16) headed up by former Manchester City and West Bromich Albion coach Melvyn Wilkes. In the 2018 season the club were also accepted back into the Skill Acquisition Programme (Players aged 8-11). The programme is currently led by Scottish native Gareth Thomson who recently moved over from New Zealand. [6]
