Collection: Vicky Krayem

Vicky Krayem has been a journalist for the past 35 years with many of those years spent working in the world of sport.

A former Sports Editor, feature writer and sub-editor at regional publications in Northern Queensland, she has covered the entire spectrum of sports – from the mainstream to the minority – and developed a deep appreciation for the importance of grassroots, community sport.

A Cairns native, she also spent more than 20 years living in Townsville with husband Rabieh Krayem, who was the inaugural CEO of the North Queensland Cowboys National Rugby League team, later headed up the North Queensland Fury during their final year in the A-League, and established the Northern Fury NPL team in 2013.

A move from Townsville to Brisbane saw the family find their new football home with the Wynnum Wolves, which proudly celebrated its centenary in 2021.

Currently an administrator at Wynnum Wolves FC, Vicky is both humbled and excited to go back to her writing roots for the Centenary book project to capture the colourful 100-year history of Football at Wynnum. This is her first book.
