HUNDREDS of footballers, including players from Fairfield, Liverpool and Canterbury Bankstown, will enjoy this Sunday’s special event at Valentine Sports Park, Glenwood.
The Football4all gala day will be held from 9am-3pm and is free to enter.
Football NSW began the event in 2008 to further develop special needs and disability football programs it runs.
“This year we will be celebrating 10 years of Football4all with a number of key activations and activities as well as special guests organised for the day,’ a spokesman said.
“It creates a support network for volunteers, coaches, parents and players to get involved in inclusion football and experience all its benefits.
“The 2017 Football4all Gala Day had over 400 participants from our Football4all programs and various disability organisations across NSW, including the NSW Powerchair Football Association.
“With 32 Football4all programs currently operating within Football NSW, this year’s gala day is looking to be even bigger.”
There will be plenty of off-field entertainment including special guests, NOVA Employment barbecue, stalls, jumping castle, face painting, inflatable football dart board and shooting target as well as raffles, showbags and medals.
“We welcome anyone with a disability to come and enjoy a day full of football and festivities,” the spokesman said.
