Wrap up of Indigenous Football Week 2025

2 weeks ago


Woollahra NSW, Australia Moriarty Foundation Full time

Thank you to everyone involved in Indigenous Football Week 2025 (IFW25). This year's theme was 'Transformation', inspired by John Moriarty Football's (JMF) capacity to transform lives by creating ripples of change that flow outwards to impact families, communities and the nation.

To mark the 10th anniversary of IFW, new research from Deloitte Access Economics was released that highlights the transformational impact of the program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people, improving school attendance and wellbeing. A key finding is that 72% of students are excited to attend school when JMF sessions are offered, leading to students attending 1-2 days extra each week where previously they had been absent.

Thank you to our IFW25 Patrons Travis Dodd and Kate Gill for being incredible role models to the 2,000+ young Indigenous footballers who take part in JMF every week across 18 remote and regional communities.

As part of the IFW25 celebrations, JMF hosted its annual Moriarty Cup in Sydney and our hubs celebrated with community tournaments.

A record number of competitors took part in the 2025 Moriarty Cup at Allianz Stadium, with 14 teams representing The Murrina Group/LVL80 Cranes, MinterEllison, Professional Footballers Australia, Optus, The Glen Group, J.P. Morgan, Stan Sport, Eastern Suburbs Football Association (ESFA), The GPT Group, Paramount+, Charter Hall, Civic Kitchen & Catering, Venues NSW, Deploy Sports, and John Moriarty Football.

Congratulations to this year's champions, Deploy Sports, who played against The Murrina Group/LVL80 Cranes team in the final to win the Moriarty Cup trophy.

Thank you to all players and those involved in the day. An incredible $140,000 was raised which will support the continued delivery of JMF and harness the power of football to transform the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and youth.
