Refugee players score goals and build bridges

from SBS News In Depth

Football players at a tournament in Perth are doing more than just score goals - they're building bridges between cultures and shining a light on the strength of Western Australia's refugee communities. Held during Refugee Week, the Freedom Cup unites players from refugee backgrounds and government agencies, in a celebration of resilience, connection and belonging. SBS has been talking to one player who fled war-torn Ukraine with his wife, and found hope, healing and community.
