The dedicated round highlights the contribution multicultural communities have made to the game’s history and welcomes new communities to embrace Australian Football as fans, players, umpires and administrators. Across Victoria, there are a number of fantastic multicultural and indigenous programs which continue to bring people from all backgrounds and walks of life together. Programs including Laguntas, Kickstart, Multicultural School Programs, Towards Zero Diversity Squads and the All Nations high-performance team are enabling young talent to be identified and have access to more opportunities to become the next crop of AFL stars. One way AFL Victoria is connecting these programs to the talent pathway is via our VFL Multicultural Ambassadors, who are assisting with these participation opportunities in the community. The VFL competition this year boasts nine Multicultural Ambassadors, including former AFL Multicultural Ambassador Ahmed Saad – now at Coburg – along with James El Moussalli (Essendon), Kenny Ong (Sandringham), Michael Tang (Port Melbourne), Jack Johnstone (Williamstown), Emmanual Jakwot, Cory Machaya (Casey Scorpions), Josh Porter and Brad Xavier (Werribee).
