Football NSW has announced that NOVA Employment has renewed their long-standing partnership as the presenting Sponsor for the annual Football4All Gala Day
Football4All has been a Football NSW initiative since 2008, aiming at giving people with a disability or special need an avenue to enjoy ‘The World Game’ with family and friends.
In 2012 NOVA Employment came on board as the naming rights partner of the event as the partnership is set to enter its thirteenth year following the two-year renewal which will see this agreement advance until 2026.
It’s been classed as one of the biggest and most important days in the Football NSW calendar which celebrates one of the largest “All Abilities” event in Australia.
NOVA Employment have been central to building this unique experience over the years with participants treated to a barbeque which has been run by a team of NOVA Employment employees and volunteers for the duration of the day.
In addition to the NOVA Employment Football4All Gala Day, NOVA Employment also supports a number of other Inclusive and All Ability Programs across Football NSW, including the NOVA Employment Football4All League and the Athletes With Disability (AWD) Futsal League.
Football NSW’s CEO John Tsatsimas was delighted with NOVA Employment’s partnership extension.
“I am pleased to announce the continuation of our long-standing partnership with NOVA Employment who have been instrumental in the growth of our inclusion programs in NSW.
“Through their valued support, we as an organisation have been able to kick many goals in this space and look forward to yet another valuable partnership in the next two years.
While NOVA Employment’s CEO Martin Wren was excited to be working closely with Football NSW once more.
“It’s great to be partnering up with Football NSW again for the next two years.
“We’re privileged to have worked together for 12 years, and the NOVA Employment Football4All Gala Day is one of the most enjoyable days of the year – If you haven’t been a part of it, you don’t know what you are missing out on.
“Participating in team sport is something NOVA Employment really encourages, and Football4All provides a fantastic environment where lifelong friends are made and skills developed in a safe and fun environment.”
