APM is the partner of the Western Australian All Abilities Football Association (WAAAFA) as the presenting sponsor of the WAAAFA State Teams.
These teams will compete at the AFL National Inclusion Carnival (AFL Inclusion) starting on 8 October 2023 in Queensland and the 2023 Toyota Wheelchair AFL National Championship on 1 November 2023 in Victoria.
“APM's partnership has assisted in elevating the event for prospects as they progress in their footballing journey,” said Hayden Marchetto, Executive Officer at WAAAFA.
“These AFL-sanctioned competitions also provide people living with a disability a chance to get involved in high-level organised sport, as well as providing a community and social environment”.
Group CEO Michael Anghie said APM’s support of these WAAAFA teams will allow the teams to participate in national competitions amongst Australia’s most talented footballers, showcasing the significant abilities of footballers with an intellectual disability to the broader community.
“The WAAAFL programs and competitions not only give people with disability the opportunity to play footy, but also improves disability acceptance, understanding, and inclusion in the community and WAFL Clubs and even AFL Clubs,” Mr Anghie said.
