All Abilities Excel At Football4All Gala Day

Enthusiastic players from local clubs, including Castle Hills United FC, West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook FC and Nepean Dragons FC, enjoyed the 14th NOVA Employment Football4all Gala Day at Valentine Sports Park, Glenwood.

They were among the more than 200 participants who competed in the ‘All Abilities’ football event organised by Football NSW. The recent event – which is a celebration of footballers of all abilities – attracted 11 clubs which took part in small-sided games as well as off-field activities.

Off field activities proved equally popular with face painting, a jumping castle, inflatable dart boards, the Fire Department truck and Police squad car all attracting crowds throughout the day. Several state and local officials attended the gala day, along with representatives from the sponsors, FNSW and Macarthur FC players Jake Hollman and Dean Bosnjak helped with the presentations.

FNSW Chief Executive Officer John Tsatsimas said it was great to see so many smiling faces on what was a memorable day for football.

“The Gala Day year upon year continues to showcase how strong our sport is as everybody that took part from the players, coaches, referees, volunteers and carers all played an important role in bringing this wonderful day to life,” Tsatsimas said. “It’s clear to see why the Football4all Gala Day is the showpiece event on our Football NSW calendar.

“NOVA Employment Football4all is a fantastic initiative which Football NSW will continue to grow and develop for many more years to come.”

FNSW thanked all the clubs, associations, staff, volunteers, and carers who were involved in making the day such a success. “We would like to especially congratulate all the participants, coaches, and family members for their inspirational support for the 2024 NOVA Employment Football4all Gala Day,” FNSW said. “Thank you also to NOVA Employment, in particular Martin Wren the CEO of NOVA Employment, who had his amazing staff run the barbeque for several
