Brisbane Roar FC Youth League

|
The Brisbane Roar FC Youth League team, also known as the Brisbane Roar Youth, represents the Brisbane Roar in the national youth league, the A-League National Youth League. Formation With the A-League running as the premier national competition, Football Federation Australia decided to bring in a league to help the grassroots of Australia make the transition to the top level. With that in mind, all existing clubs at the time (apart from Wellington Phoenix), were allowed teams to use in the competition. The AIS would take the position of the New Zealand-based club, with it being the top institute for sport in the country. Brisbane Roar (then Queensland Roar), who were well known for finding and producing young talent, would be given more opportunities to produce said talent, allowing the club in general to flourish. Grounds The club have used numerous stadiums during their tenure in the league, with Ballymore Stadium, Perry Park & Suncorp Stadium being the standouts. Other locations have been used, with all being in South East Queensland. Current squad Correct as of 30 November 2012 In addition 4 "over-age" players from the First Team may play for the Youth Team. <references group="Note"/> Graduates Players who have successfully gradated to play for the first team on 1 or more occasions.
