Western United’s men’s and women’s A-League campaigns might have ended more than a month ago, but the club’s home base at Ironbark Fields in Tarneit hosted plenty of soccer action on Monday, July 1.
The facility played host the Multicultural Youth Cup soccer tournament to cap of celebrations for this year’s Refugee Week.
Migrant and refugee footballers from Wyndham and across Melbourne gathered for the day long tournament, with Wyndham mayor Jenny Barrera on had to present trophies to the winners.
“Wyndham is proudly an inclusive community, a ‘Welcoming City’ and a ‘Refugee Welcome Zone’, said Cr Barrera at the tournament.
“Today’s event brings our community together to have some football fun and also recognises and celebrates refugees and asylum seekers and the many valuable contributions they make to our country,” she said.
