Congratulations to the 6 girls and 11 boys from Borroloola who recently competed at the School of Sport Education NT Inter-Region Championship in Darwin representing the Big Rivers Region 12 & U football team.

Coordinated and facilitated by JMF, the players had a fantastic week representing their community playing competitive football, bowling at Kingpin and cooling off at Leanyer Recreation Park.

Thank you to the JMF coaches Victor Fisher, Sonny Raggett (Gurdanji) and Roxanne Jangala (Garrwa) and teaching assistant Paul John for supporting the participants on the trip.

Thank you to everyone involved for making this experience possible.

Kamilaroi footballer Cydnee Avery dreams of being a Matilda 💚💛💚

Thank you SBS News for sharing Cydnee's story as one of the 26 promising young Indigenous footballers who took part in the JMF National Talent Showcase for Indigenous Football Week®.

As JMF Ambassador Allira Toby says, "There are too few professional Indigenous footballers because the barriers are too high. This showcase will help kickstart their journey towards a professional career."

Happy Indigenous Football Week® 2026 - we are counting down to kick-off for tonight's JMF National Talent Showcase at Valentine Sports Park.

Thank you SBS News for covering the journey of four of the young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander footballers who will take to the pitch to show the football world their exceptional talent.

This year Indigenous Football Week® celebrates JMF’s capacity to transform lives by creating opportunities and pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and to bridge the gap between remote grassroots play and the world of elite football for disadvantaged Indigenous players.
