According to info released by organisers, the occasion is “about
outdoor and indoor activities…to encourage young [people] with different
talents within the communities”. It also provided a fun outlet for family and
friends over the festive season.
It’s great to see growing African-Australian communities making the most of community sports participation. Besides, what life will be without youth soccer? You want your young ones to horn their soccer formation skills or passes? Keep an eye these sports occasions.
This AJL Entertainment Super Cup Tournament was supported by the Perth African Nation Sports Association.
