Australian rules football in South East Queensland
Australian rules football in South East Queensland has a varied history and many changes were made especially in the 21st century.
History
Competition football began in 1970 with the South Queensland Australian Football Association (SQAFA) for developing players for the QAFL. Most of the players were amateurs. In 1992, the league changed its name to the Brisbane Australian Football League (BAFL) and included clubs from the Sunshine Coast. Another name change in 2000 brought about AFL South Queensland. In 2006, AFL South Queensland was taken under the umbrella of AFL Queensland and rebranded as the Queensland State Association. In 2012, it was renamed South East Queensland AFL.[1] Finally in 2014 the local level was divided into two leagues, the Queensland Football Association (QFA) and the Queensland Amateur Football Association (QAFA).
