Football Connect is an initiative that we set up in collaboration with NZ Police, with the idea of giving male youth of refugee background a space to connect across cultures, in a safe environment with some really positive focus…and of course healthy competition. It’s also about enabling these guys to express themselves through their craft of choice, as they are all skillful and love the beautiful game of football and the camaraderie it brings. We are looking forward to some of our officers, including former refugee Phil Pithyou, join the lads for a few games.
