That is now changing with a host of male and female Aborigines featuring not only in the national league, but also representing the country.
Now Football Federation associations Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The FFA relaunched their indigenous development programme earlier this year under the title ‘Football Dreaming’, with the programme’s annual activities culminating in the National Indigenous Football Festival.
Great news I hope more clubs get behind these intiatives and reap the rewards of local talent.
