More than 1,200 students from diverse backgrounds participated in the West Australian Football Commission’s (WAFC) AFL Multicultural Gala Day on Monday, July 31, where they got to meet special guests from the West Coast Eagles, including AFL Multicultural Ambassador Nic Naitanui.
Students from Years 4-6 took part in a number of football skill workshops in carnivals held in three locations across the metropolitan area including North Beach, Thornlie and Kardinya.
WAFC Community Engagement Manager Paul Mugambwa said the event aims to give children from diverse backgrounds a taste of Australian Football with the hope that they will continue their involvement in footy into the future.
“Football, and sport in general, is all about inclusivity and strengthening local community,” he said.
“The event allows young players to develop their skills alongside the very best in the business, and this in turn enables young footy talent to be identified.”
The event is part of the WAFC Multicultural Schools program which reaches more than 60 schools each year.
