rff


The 2025 Belt Up Regional Festival of Football is just days away with programs confirmed across the South West.

This is the first year the Insurance Commission of Western Australia has sponsored the annual event through the Belt Up road safety campaign.

The festival includes school clinics, a club development workshop, a Foundation of Football coaching course and a FREE referee course.

Then on Saturday 24 May, there are two National Premier Leagues WA fixtures scheduled for Hay Park in Bunbury – the NPLM game between Perth Glory and Olympic Kingsway, followed by the NPLW clash between Hyundai Football West Academy and Perth RedStar.

And on match day, Hyundai Australia, through its Hyundai Help for Kids initiative, is offering FOUR VIP tickets to see Disney On Ice at Perth's RAC Arena, valued at $800. 

Football West Chief Operating Officer Perry Ielati said: “The Regional Festival of Football is something we all look forward to, and it is especially exciting this year as it’s the first time we have taken it to Bunbury.

“There is a lot taking place in the region, with this week’s incredible announcement of the Matildas coming to Bunbury, the positive restructuring of the game on the back of the South West Review, and the continued growth in registrations, and this is a great opportunity for the Football West team and stakeholders from the region to celebrate the game in the South West.”

Football West would like to acknowledge the Insurance Commission as name sponsor of the Regional Festival of Football, as well as the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and the City of Bunbury for their support for the festival.
