Football4All Gala Day Returns to Celebrate Inclusion Across NSW
Football NSW is proud to host the 2026 Football4All Gala Day, a flagship inclusive community event dedicated to promoting participation, accessibility, and enjoyment of the game for people of all abilities.
The Gala Day will take place on Sunday, 21 June 2026 at Valentine Sports Park, running from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The event is free to attend and open to players, families, carers, and supporters from across the football community.
Since its introduction in 2008, the Football4All program has provided meaningful opportunities for participants to engage with football in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. The annual Gala Day brings these values to life, creating a vibrant atmosphere both on and off the field where inclusion, respect, and connection are at the forefront.
Last year’s event featured a special exhibition match involving the ParaMatildas, delivering a memorable highlight for participants and spectators alike.
Football NSW is currently exploring opportunities to include a similar exhibition element in 2026, further enhancing the day’s experience and showcasing elite-level inclusive football.
Football NSW Inclusion, Diversity and Club Development Coordinator Ellie Kerr emphasised the importance of the initiative.
“Football has an incredible ability to break down barriers and create spaces where everyone feels they belong,” Kerr said.
“The Football4All Gala Day is about participation, shared experiences, and celebrating the role football can play in strengthening individuals and communities.”
Registrations for the 2026 Football4All Gala Day are now open, with Football NSW looking forward to welcoming participants and their supporters for a day centred on inclusion, community, and the joy of the game.
