Special Note from Football Uniteds Founder

Football United has come a long way since its humble, yet ambitious, beginning five yearsago. What began as a dream of mine has grown to include the dreams of many, not only in

Australia, but across the world.

Football Uniteds strength lies in the diversity and the experience of its management team,members and supporters, and their capacity to dream and inspire. This is unwaveringlycomplimented by their never-ending hope of a better future for all. Football Unitedgathers

a diverse, multi-sectoral group, combining the s ills of talented corporate leaders, the

commitment of a wide range of individuals, community groups and NGOs, the engagementof academia, and support by local and state government representatives. Through thisrapidly expanding networ , Football United harnesses the power of football to inspire and

promote social justice and community development.

Than s to this extensive and ever growing engagement, Football United has had an amazingtwo years since January 2009. We have seen our funding base expand through increased

and diversified corporate and foundation engagements, improved government support and,importantly, an exciting new partnership with Football Federation Australia.

Recognition for Football United has expanded beyond our borders, as we have engaged with

and gained support from both the Oceania Football Confederation and the Asian FootballConfederation. Excitement and enthusiasm escalated as Football Uniteds Hope Team

represented Australia at first international Football for Hope Festival, held in South Africa,

as an official event ofFIFAs World Cup 2010.

Throughout 2010, the power of our dreams was manifested by North One TV and its

energetic producer, Dan Goldberg. He championed Football United and won over a huge

audience by relaying our powerful stories and enabling the production of the inspiringdocumentary Passport to Hope through Foxtel broadcasting, which chronicled this

momentous year.

Gratitude is owed to so many people, it is impossible to name them all. I would li e to offerspecial than s though, to the hundreds of young people and families who are members of

Football United. You are the hope of our world, your strength and perseverance inspires me

daily.

Anne Bunde-Birouste

Founder Football United

Football United promotes harmony through the global game of football. Our goals

are to bring people together to have fun while learning and playing football. We

believe in harmony and social justice for all

2009 December 2010 3

Football United began four years ago with a vision to assist recently arrived humanitarianrefugee youth and families in their transition into Australian society. Using peoples love offootball (soccer) we build opportunities for belonging, racial harmony and community cohesion.

Sport in general, and football especially, has an important role to play in peoples lives andspeaksto them in a language they understand. Researchhasshown thatparticipating in sport

improves physical and mental health, encouragesstrong community bonds, reduces crime rates,and can offer access to positive mentors for young people in disadvantaged communities.Transition to a new country includes practical challenges such as learning new languages,cultural and societal values. Refugees from conflict-impacted areas are often carryingemotionally traumatic experienceswiththem which can resultin higherthan average problemswith language, housing, health, employmentand education.

The Football United program initially started with aims to provide connection to mainstreamfootball for newly arrived refugee immigrants. Rapidly, however, we realised thatcommunity-based football was not responsive to their needs, with costand transport to and from gamesoften prohibitively expensive for these groups. In addition, sensitivity to pre-migrationexperiences and cultural differences was often absent in mainstream community sport. In

response, Football United initiated a range of opportunities for refugee communities to playfootball and through football provides opportunities for belonging and social inclusion.

As the program implementation progressed, Football United leaders noted thatofte

-9 SPECIAL PROJECT: FOOTBALL FOR HOPE FESTIVAL,WORLD CUP 2010


Overview

Football Uniteds connections with FIFA have steadily increased over the course of 2008 and 2009,and include linkswith FIFAs Football for Hope and membership in itsst rategic NGO partner network,Streetfootballworld in December 2008. In addition to an invitation to attend the 2009 Football ForHope Forum, Football United is featured in streetfotballworldsupcoming bookon world case studiesin football forsocial justice, and is an advising memberto African and South American development

programs.Football United received an invitation to participate as one of only thirty-two teams in the 2010Football for Hope Festival, an official eventofthe FIFA World Cup 2010. Thiseventwas a highlightofthe Football for Hope Movementand a celebration ofthe power of football and the positive impactithas on community development. This invitation is recognition of the tireless efforts of everyoneinvolved in Football United.

Inclusive efforts andcapacity building for all through the Hope Team

Football Uniteds ethos of engagementand empowermentwas extended throughoutits preparationforthe Football for Hope Festival, from the initial selection processthroughthe preparation period.

Since choosing only 4 boys and 4 girls forthe Hope teamwould engage only a tiny proportion ofFootball United participants, Football United made the process of choosing the team asimportantas

the team itself, and to make this process asinclusive of all participants as possible.The firststage was commenced in mid 2009 withsurveys and focus groupswith program participantsabout the qualities they believe the Football United World Cup team should embody. The secondstage, involved distributing information flyers and collecting participantapplication forms. FootballUnited made sure that no students would be disadvantaged due to their level of English languageskills or accessto resources by getting supportfrom schools fortranslation and studentvolunteerstowork with students on their applications. The third stage involved football training camps at theSydney Academy ofSportduring the October Holiday Campsthatacted astry-outs forthe applicants.

Another key element of the participatory process was thevoting processin November 2009. Teachers, coaches, studentsand participants from various projects and programs ofFootball United voted for the Hope Team members. In this

process, everyone was asked to keep in mind that the teamchosen to go to South Africa on behalf of Football United wastobe made up of young people who are mature, open minded,interested and who embody everything thatFootball United isabout: Building social cohesion in refugee communities,promoting social inclusion, and contributing to the building ofracial harmony and social integration across communities within

the program area, through support for youth soccer development. Following the voting process,Football United announced 16 preliminary Hope Team members atthe Football United Festival on 8thDecember 2009.

These efforts are part of Football Uniteds capacity building initiatives. The Hope Teams trip toCanberra, in June highlights Football Uniteds ability to capac ity build from differentangles. Thistrip

provided mutual benefits for Football United and local football clubs from Goulburn and Canberrathrough organised friendly games. The chance to play withthe Parliamentarian team in Canberra wasa greatopportunity forthe Hope Team to advocate itsinitiativesto the countrys policy and decisionmakers.

All these efforts provide Football United with a wide range of media coverage, printed and electronic,local and national. Itis one ofthe bestpracticesin disseminating football as a tool forsocial cohesionand racial harmony.

Football United organized regular weekly training programand residential training camps foritsteam. Itwas during thefirst camp that the team members named their team; theHope Teamwas born. During the trainingsthe Hope Teamwas offered opportunities to mix with high level football,including training with and playing against national youth

tate Premier League players.They were given mentoring by Australias national footballstars, Socceroos and Matildas. A training venue, from privatecorporate, Golden Goal group, was provided free of charge. The training program included notonlyfootball skills also personal development, self-confidence, communications training and self-esteembuilding.

LeadershipDevelopmentParallel to the Process

Football United believesthatits leadership programsshould assistits membersin their lives beyondfootball, while contributing to the organisations sustainability. By combining this with improvedfootball content, we will increase the organizations credibility and relationshipswithin the broaderAustralian football community. A directexample of this occurred when two talented young leaderswere mentored and supported technically during the Siyakhona projectin the lead up to the Football

For Hope Festival. Football Uniteds continued engagementwith differentmedia enablesusto worktofosterthe Hope Team players self-esteem. Noticeable results from the leadership developmenteffortswere evident during the final week when each team member gave formal presentations at theirschools during going away assemblies. They are seen as role models among their peers and thepreparatory works fortheir presentation atthe assemblieshelped them, butalso helped their peerstounderstand more about why they are, and how they are, accessing opportunities. All these effortspointed toward promotion ofFootball forSocial Development.

Showtime

Football United implements best practices in the field of Social Development through Football. ItsHope team representsthe many symbols of football for positive social change in the areas of HealthPromotion, Peace Building, Children's Rights & Education, An ti-Discrimination & Social Integrationand the Environment. People with high profiles in political, social, business, academic and sport

arenas mettogether atthe Hope Teamssend-off party and delivered speechesrelating to the powerof football in social developmentand expressed their commitmentsto make a difference effectivelyusing theirinfluence. Another example of footballs magical powerto bring people all together.
