The long-standing collaboration between Football NSW and NOVA Employment as the presenting sponsor of the annual Football4All Gala Day has been extended, as confirmed by the member federation.
Football4All is a Football NSW programme that was launched in 2008 with the goal of providing persons with special needs or disabilities with a way to enjoy “The World Game” with family and friends.
With NOVA Employment returning as the naming partner for the NOVA Employment Football4All Gala Day, NOVA Employment Football4All League, and the NOVA Employment AWD Futsal League in 2023 and 2024, the partnership between Football NSW and NOVA Employment, which has been going for ten years, will continue.
NOVA Employment is a non-profit organisation that seeks to place disabled individuals in award-paying jobs among the general population. They are a Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE) Programme that works only with persons who have significant impediments to employment or a range of impairments and provides specialised job searching help and post-placement support.
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,” he stated via press release.
“Through their support we have been able to kick many goals in this space and look forward to another successful two years starting off with this Sunday’s Football4All Gala Day.”
NOVA Employment’s CEO Martin Wren added via press release:
“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.”
The NOVA Employment Football4All Gala Day successfully took place on Sunday, 18th June at Valentine Sports Park.
