The KYC is continually striving to become a more professional body. Lately, the Club has been gaining more and more participation from the younger generation. Support from the rest of the Kshatriya Brisbane Community has also been tremendous. The Club has had a relatively short but colourful history. One of its greatest achievements to date has been the hosting of the first ever Kshatriya World Cup Soccer (Brisbane 2002) in which seven (7) teams from Australia, New Zealand and Fiji participated.

The KYC has provided cohesion and bond amoungst our youth, paving the way to maintain our tradition, culture and values.
