Across the Waves FC is proud to announce a groundbreaking technical partnership with Brisbane City FC.
This partnership marks a significant step forward for Across the Waves, as we commit to reshaping our youth football programs to deliver opportunities for Wide Bay-based players to train and play at a higher standard.
By aligning with one of Queensland’s most respected and successful football clubs, Across the Waves will strengthen its capacity to provide meaningful pathways for player progression—whether into higher-level competitions, semi-professional and professional environments, or future first-team opportunities.
“This partnership is a major milestone for our club,” said Tim Roebuck, President of Across the Waves FC.
“It reflects our ambition to raise the bar, invest in our young players, and connect footballers in Bundaberg to a wider network of opportunity.”
The partnership is set to create avenues for player and coaching clinics, and broader collaboration between both clubs as we pursue a shared vision for football in our communities.
“We’re proud and excited to partner with a huge regional club such as Across the Waves,” said Jake Goodship, Football Director at Brisbane City FC.
“This partnership will bring opportunities not just for talented regional players in and around Bundaberg, but also for Brisbane City FC in terms of supporting regional talent and development of the game in areas outside of Brisbane.
“As a club, we have a vision and responsibility to grow the game – not just in Brisbane, but across the state – to become a club that our members, players, supporters, sponsors, and community can be proud of.
“The shared history between our clubs is fascinating, and the opportunity to built on that legacy is very exciting.
“This partnership will open up pathways for talented players and provide both clubs with the opportunity to grow their footballing provision and quality assurances for members.
“We look forward to building future initiatives including opportunities for player and coach development.”
While Brisbane City and Across the Waves have shared a longstanding connection through our proud Italian heritage, this renewed, formal partnership marks an opportunity to forge new memories and a lasting legacy as our connection grows. Our shared roots, coupled with our mutual ambition to elevate football across Queensland, make this partnership a natural and exciting progression.
Across the Waves and Brisbane City look forward to collectively building a future that gives talented players across our state every opportunity to succeed.
