Indigenous Football Competition Opportunities – IFW21 Facebook Live Panel

Join us for a Facebook Live session on ‘Indigenous Football Competition Opportunities’ as part of Indigenous Football Week 2021.

Watch live on the JMF Facebook page.

The session will look at gender equality through Indigenous Football Competition Opportunities and the additional barriers facing Indigenous women and girls.

The Australian Indigenous football community plays a vital role in providing opportunities and access to football for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. While operating independently, they provide opportunities for involvement, are a gateway for new experiences and have enhanced the standing of Indigenous players, coaches and referees as role models and changemakers in their communities.

This panel will look at the input the Australian Indigenous football sector is having on gender equality in football and consider the intersectional impacts and barriers facing Indigenous girls and women.

This event is part of the celebrations for the sixth annual Indigenous Football Week 2021 (IFW21), held 22 to 27 November.

A week-long program of events will shine a spotlight on the power of football to unlock the potential of Indigenous girls and women and improve gender equality, from grassroots to elite.

IFW21 is a John Moriarty Football (JMF) initiative in partnership with A-Leagues, Professional Footballers Australia, Football Coaches Australia, SBS, NITV, and FOX Sports.

The week will see some of football’s best take a deep dive into gender equality issues of women in football leadership and specific intersectional challenges and opportunities in football for Indigenous girls and women.
