More Muslim children joining in Australian rules football through SANFL Bachar Houli Cup


The SANFL has created a pathway for Muslim children to be introduced to Australian rules football.

What started as the brainchild of two teachers has expanded into a nine-a-side competition across four schools this week.


"What we're doing is reaching into a new market, but it's not just about football, it's about connectivity, it's about community, it's about all coming together," said Tom Javor, the SANFL's zone manager for the North Adelaide and Central District clubs.


"We've gone from one to seven multicultural Auskick centres at the campuses so [that] children have a place to play football."
