Coorparoo Kings are a community-based AFL club that was established in 1997 with the mission of providing opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels to participate in Australian Rules Football. Our club is dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles, fostering teamwork and sportsmanship, and building a sense of community among our members.
The club was founded in 1996 by Craig Dixon as the Treasury Kings Football Club. Dixon worked at Brisbane’s Treasury Casino and was responsible for organising an annual “grudge” match between the Brisbane Treasury Casino and Gold Coast’s Jupiters Hotel and Casino.
In 1996, a number of players expressed interest in playing on a more regular basis, and with Dixon’s organising, the Kings were born.
