THE LINE-UP

‘SPIRIT STRONG, GAME ON’: 2024 INDIGENOUS ROUND

The people. The strength. The tradition.​ No matter where our game is played across this country—the red dirt desert, the small country town, or the epic tropical north—it transcends barriers by connecting people and communities—it always has.​

Football echoes in us all through time and down the generations, making us the caretakers of the code and the storytellers of the game so that we can pass it on just as it was passed onto us.​

It is the anthem of our existence and in its calling;​ We declare, "Spirit Strong, Game On."
