On the weekend of 23-25 June 2023, Football NSW is inviting Clubs, Associations and members to celebrate the inaugural Pride Round.
Furthering Football NSW’s commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable sporting environment for all participants, Pride Round acknowledges the diversity of genders and sexualities that exist within the sport and celebrates the role they play within football.
Football NSW Head of Women’s Football, Hayley Todd, spoke of the importance of making football an accessible sport for all.
“Football NSW operates under the principle of facilitating the best experience for all participants,” she said.
“We know the significant physical and mental health benefits that come from playing sport and we have a responsibility to eliminate any barriers to participating in our game.
“Pride Round forms part of the sport’s commitment to fostering sporting environments where all members of the wider football family feel completely free to be their whole selves without fear.”
Football NSW acknowledges and respects the diverse range of backgrounds and beliefs that exist across the wider community. Above all, Football NSW emphasises the vital importance of treating all members of the football family, as well as of the wider community, with dignity and respect.
