In Round 13, AFL Darling Downs, in conjunction with the AFL, celebrates Multicultural Round,
AFL players come from diverse backgrounds, with 15 per cent of all players either born overseas or have a parent born overseas.
Multicultural Round is aimed at recognising the contribution these players make to the game and that AFL is a sport that can bring these different cultures together - ‘Many Cultures, One Game'.
AFL is truly Australia’s Game, played by people of all ages, genders and diverse backgrounds. It’s what makes our game extraordinary.
Multicultural Round celebrates the fact that no matter where you are from, everyone can share and unite through this great game.
To celebrate this, local clubs are encouraged to generate discussion amongst their playing group by discussing their heritage.
Players from multicultural backgrounds are also enocuraged to lead their teams on to the ground and toss the coin prior to the game.
