The Pararoos are playing in Sydney this Saturday 4 February and there are two former Football Canterbury participants selected in the final squad.
Former Mr P FC player, Taj Lynch, and former Leichhardt Saints coach, Ben Sutton, have both been selected for the Australia v USA match at Cromer Park.
Lynch, a midfielder, has 18 caps and one goal for the national team. He played for Mr P FC for two seasons in 2019 and 2020.
Sutton, a forward, has seven caps and coached at Saints in 2020.
The match against the USA, ranked #4 in the world, will be the Pararoos’ first game on home soil for three years.
Clubs in the Football Canterbury region have a proud history of all-abilities football with Marrickville Red Devils and Balmain DFC both having a long-established Football4All program.
Burwood FC, Belmore Eagles, Earlwood Wanderers, and Hurlstone Park Wanderers also have a Football4All program while other clubs (such as Mr P FC and ACU FC) include para-athletes in their AA teams.
