Football NSW has rolled out a campaign by various football representatives urging the community to vaccinate via this special video message.
Those featured include former NSW Premier and now Football NSW director Morris Iemma, Mayor of Bankstown City Khal Asfour, former Socceroos coach Les Schienflug, football presenter Mariana Rudan, Football NSW director Stephanie Brantz as well as prominent NSW born footballers and coaches Peter Tsekenis, John Paul de Marigny and Alen Stajcic to name a few.
Football NSW has an enormous, culturally diverse playing and volunteer base. Media reports and commentary suggest that language, culture, and misinformation have been significant challenges in dealing with the current crisis and increasing the take up of vaccines.
The vast player and volunteer base of football in CALD communities puts football in a unique position to disseminate accurate and timely information on the need to vaccinate.
The message is clear, as a sport, we are all in this together.
Football NSW is urging everyone to give Covid-19 the boot. With the support and help of everyone in the football family, it’s a step in the right direction in giving this disease a red card and for many of us, a pathway in getting back to doing the things we love, such as playing the world game.
#FootballAsOne for the betterment of all, fighting Covid-19 together.
