2020 GREAT SOUTHERN FESTIVAL OF FOOTBALL 2020 GREAT SOUTHERN FESTIVAL OF FOOTBALL

A message from James Curtis, CEO Welcome to the fourth annual Football West Regional Festival of Football and our first in Albany. We are delighted to be in the Great Southern and it is especially pleasing following the false start we had earlier this year. The Football West team came to Albany in March to announce that the Festival would be taking place in early May. Then, of course, circumstances out of everybody’s control intervened and we were forced to postpone the event. But Football West was always determined that the show would go on James Curtis and so it has transpired, albeit three months late. Chief Executive Officer, What we did take away from our visit earlier this year was the obvious Football West passion for football in Albany, from the Tuesday night seven-a-side casuals to the boys and girls in our Hyundai Talent Support Program. It is also a pleasure to bring some of the top metro talent to the south coast. The Men’s NPL game will be between Sorrento and Glory’s NPL side, many of whom will be looking to force their way into A-League reckoning in the future. The Women’s NPL fixture sees Perth SC take on the youngsters from the Football West Hyundai NTC side, which contains a number of Junior and Young Matildas. Other activities during the week-long activities include school visits, coaching clinics and referee courses. Finally, none of this would be possible without the support of a number of bodies, especially the City of Albany and its CEO Andrew Sharpe, the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, the Albany Junior Soccer Association, Great Southern Soccer Association and our official partners including Gold Fields and Healthway. Thanks to everybody who has helped us put on this week’s Regional Festival of Football and enjoy the action.

A message from Mayor Dennis Wellington, City of Albany The Albany community are passionate about sport, the great outdoors and maintaining an active lifestyle where team sports play a huge part in the lives of our residents. Football is a growing sport in the Great Southern with vast potential for growth in a grassroots capacity which is encouraged and supported by bringing events like the Festival of Football to the region. We are excited to welcome Football West to Albany in August and look forward to experiencing the talent and skills of these players firsthand.
