Empowering youth through football, leadership, and community connection. < Back More Than a Game: Young People Leading the Way Zakaria Farah 5 Feb 2026 Empowering youth through football, leadership, and community connection. On Sunday 25 January 2026, Arden Street Oval in North Melbourne hosted the inaugural African Champions League , a one-day five-a-side tournament that brought young people together during the school holidays through competition, teamwork and leadership. Developed in response to strong interest from young people, the tournament created a space for them to compete, showcase their talent and take the lead. That vision came to life through a partnership with United Through Football , with the tournament bringing together 16 teams across two competitions. The day featured an under 18 junior competition and an under 25 senior competition, creating a full program of matches across the afternoon and evening. A Day on the Pitch Matches kicked off at 12.30pm and ran late into the night, with games played back-to-back across the afternoon and evening. Food was provided, and nearly 200 players, families and community members attended across the day, creating a strong and welcoming atmosphere around the pitch. The standard of play was high throughout the tournament. Elite Football won the junior competition, while Garoon FC took out the senior competition. Youth Leadership in Action A defining feature of the African Champions League was youth leadership. Yaqub, a young leader from the community, was appointed as the designated Tournament Lead and played a key role in planning and delivering the event alongside partners. “As the tournament lead, I wanted to create something positive and competitive that young people could really own. The African Champions League gave us a space to showcase talent, stay connected and bring the community together. Seeing nearly 200 people attend showed how important opportunities like this are for young people.” — Yaqub, Tournament Lead, African Champions League Looking Ahead The African Champions League launched with energy, ambition and a clear sense of purpose. Young people took the stage, the community showed up, and the talent on display spoke for itself. With enthusiasm already building for what comes next, this inaugural tournament feels like the first chapter of something that can grow, inspire and bring even more people together. Previous Next

Consisting of pre- and post-employment support for job seekers, as well as mentoring and networking opportunities, Game Changers identifies and nurtures talent through paid Employment Experiences, both within The Huddle and through partnerships with our business and community networks. Young people are supported through their career journey via case-management which takes the form of one-on-one consultations with either the Careers Coordinator or a Career Coach, based on the participants preferred method of contact, including face-to-face appointments, video, or phone call. Participants are also brought together through various education workshops and forums, including with industry professionals to grow their skills, knowledge and networks. Game Changers is delivered through collaborative partnerships with youth led cultural groups located within our communities, to ensure Game Changers is meeting the needs of local young people, while also allowing The Huddle to play a role in building the skills, knowledge and networks of these groups contributing to collective impact. FIND OUT MORE I wanted to say thanks for letting me join the Game Changers program. I found it really beneficial since not only did it allow me to meet new people, but also helped me form networks where I could ask for volunteering opportunities and potentially work. Through the workshops I was able to learn more about the transferable skills that I could use when applying for jobs - whether it’d be answering questions at a job interview or pitching a new business/community project idea. I’d highly recommend this program to anyone who’s looking to develop career goals or need guidance at securing a job. Rea Tinoy, program participant Previous Next
