The 2026 SUNS Academy Gold Coast and Northern Rivers HUB squads have been announced, featuring many of the zones most promising 13–15-year-old male and female footballers.
The SUNS Academy aims to be the best youth academy in Australia by delivering supportive and high performing programs that allows everyone involved to feel a sense of belonging to our club, grow as people and achieve their full potential.
The HUB development program is designed to discover, activate, develop, and inspire young athletes by building strong technical and tactical foundations, growing game sense, and progressing toward advanced concepts and execution. The program encourages participation and connection to the Gold Coast SUNS Football Club, while also marking the beginning of the talent identification journey. We provide engaging environments that promotes the Academy Values Belong, Grow, Achieve, helping players grow both on and off the field.
Players selected in the squads will be eligible to represent the SUNS within their respective HUBs while taking part in a unique 6-week training program that includes education workshops and culminates with a competitive match.
The Academy HUB development program equips this next generation of players with valuable experiences, learning opportunities, and exposure to help prepare them for the next stages of their football journey.
We congratulate the following players on their selection into the program.
