The FIDA Difference
Footy is for everyone
FIDA is more than a football league; it’s a charitable entity dedicated to advancing social welfare, education, and health within the intellectual disability community through Australian Rules football. We value each person’s contribution and strive to create programs that foster greater participation. Through our efforts, we provide a sense of purpose, joy, and belonging to individuals who might not otherwise have the chance to participate. Together, we are building a community of inclusion, where everyone’s potential can shine on and off the field.
FIDA is a charitable incorporated entity, and holds an ACNC deductible gift recipient status.
The Future of FIDA
FIDA’s future is bright, but we recognise that challenges lie ahead. In today’s ever-changing world, the passion for footy remains strong. As we adapt to evolving youth connectivity and the rise of e-sports, FIDA must stay relevant while upholding the core principles of inclusion.
We are committed to maintaining professionalism in our interactions, all the while staying true to our FIDA spirit and values. We are focused on best practice, supporting all participants and ensuring a sustainable future for our association.
At FIDA, our mission remains unwavering – providing opportunities for individuals with intellectual disability in football. Our approach is to foster inclusivity and shape a promising future.
