History[]

Up until 1998, Hervey Bay Soccer played as part of the Maryborough Soccer Federation under the auspices of the Queensland Soccer Federation. A new committee approached the QCSA Queensland Christian Soccer Association in order to create a local soccer competition in Hervey Bay. Four senior clubs played in the newly formed Hervey Bay Soccer Association (Bayside Strikers Soccer Club, Fraser Flames Football Club, Kawungan Whales Soccer Club and Sandy Straits Soccer Club).

In 1999, the first representative players were selected for Hervey Bay, in the QCSA State Titles on the Sunshine Coast. In 2000, the State titles were held in Hervey Bay.

New clubs were formed in the early 2000's, including United Soccer Club and Rangers Football Club.

In 2007, the Hervey Bay Soccer Association became Football Hervey Bay (FHB), with all of the clubs changing their names from "soccer club" to "Football Club".

In 2008, Football Hervey Bay was renamed as a Competition Administrator in line with Football Queensland policy. There was a re-establishment of an inter-city competition with Maryborough, and with total registered players increased to 1354 (1332 the previous year), this made FHB the largest sporting group in the area.

The 2009 season saw 3 teams from Hervey Bay and 4 teams from Maryborough contest the Fraser Coast League 1st Division. Hervey Bay's Kawungan took the minor premiership with only 1 loss all season.
