WA Football"
This weekend, players officials and umpires in community football competitions will be encouraged to wear a red arm band to help raise awareness of, and remove, racial vilification in football as part of the AFL’s Multicultural Round.
The red arm band symbolises Earth-Blood-Life; we come from different places but we are all the same.
Those wearing a red arm band will have committed to zero tolerance of vilification, no abuse, and an understanding that ‘we are all the same’.
Red Arm Band round will be supported across Perth the WA Amateur Football League and junior competitions on Saturday, while the WA Women’s Football League will wear red arm bands during their Sunday fixtures.
