More than 80 local children laced up their boots and took to the field on Thursday 17 April for the grand finale of Fun Football Noosa.
This fantastic grassroots initiative is a free, community-focused football program that’s been energising the region these Easter holidays.
The event culminated in a vibrant Football Carnival at the Noosa District Sports Complex, where 12 teams of boys and girls aged 6–14 competed in a knock-out style tournament for the Charity Community Cup, proudly sponsored by Waves of Kindness Noosa.
Fun Football Noosa head coach Rob Vaneveld said, “The carnival went well and was a great day for the children in the community.”
“There were lots of stories and memories being made from children and parents alike.
“We had a tournament of the local children with 12 teams. The winners were team ‘Nigeria’ comprising of six players.”
Fun Football Noosa has welcomed children of all ages and abilities, with a mission to make sport accessible to everyone — completely free of charge.
The program has been designed and delivered by FA-licensed coaches, providing a fun, inclusive environment where kids can learn new skills, build confidence, and make lasting friendships.
Waves of Kindness Noosa has played a vital role in bringing this vision to life — not only sponsoring the event, but also providing a free sausage sizzle for all participants at the Carnival.
