On October 16 at the Wanderers Football Park in Sydney a friendly soccer match between newly arrived young Afghani refugees and an Italian Australian soccer team was played.
VDSA sponsored the game together with the Massoud Foundation, Amnesty International, Filef, Comites, NSW Government and Grandmothers for Refugees.
It is the second match VDSA has sponsored to provide support for the Afghani refugees and their community and promote multiculturalism.
Sport plays an important role in helping to overcome traumas, and the spirited match demonstrated how positive energy and healthy competition can emerge from even a friendly match.
