Football St George (FSG) is proud to celebrate the conclusion of the 2025 Football4All program, which has once again highlighted the power of sport to bring people together in a truly inclusive way.
Over the course of the season, children and young people of all abilities were able to experience football in a supportive, fun, and welcoming environment. From fortnightly training sessions to regular match days and the special Football NSW Football4All Gala Day, participants and families embraced the opportunity to connect, learn, and grow.
A Season of Inclusion and Joy
Football4All caters for players as young as five through to adulthood, providing opportunities for participants with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism, learning or neurological impairments, and sensory needs. Smaller-sided games, adapted fields, and tailored support, such as Frame Football, ensure every player can take part and shine.
The 2025 season once again reinforced FSG’s commitment to removing barriers, building confidence, and fostering friendships through football.
Voices From the Community
“Football4All has shown us what true inclusion looks like. Thanks so much, Frank! What you and your organisation do for us is greatly appreciated” —Anita Widyasaputra.
“Santiago loved playing football this year at Football4All. He particularly enjoyed training, which he found fun, and his skills and confidence have developed considerably. Thanks again for all your support. —Jeremy Mercieca”
These heartfelt messages capture the spirit of Football4All, where football is more than just a game, it’s a pathway to confidence, friendship, and joy.
Frank Mrvcic, who has been instrumental in delivering the Football4All program at FSG, reflected on the impact of the season:
“Every time I see the players smiling on the field, I’m reminded of why we do this. Football4All isn’t just about learning football skills, it’s about belonging, confidence, and joy. This year, we’ve seen friendships form, abilities grow, and families come together in ways that make our community stronger. I’m so grateful to everyone who made the 2025 season possible, and we can’t wait to welcome even more players next year.”
As the curtain closes on the 2025 season, Football St George extends a sincere thank you to the players, families, volunteers, and coaches who made the program such a success. Planning is already underway for the 2026 season, which promises to build on this year’s achievements and continue delivering a welcoming and inclusive football experience for all.
