Kicking Goals Together, a local program run by the Australian Catholic University, supports refugees, migrants and international students with Football championships.
Robi Alam, team captain of Rohingya United, says they previously had no rights in refugee camps, leaving kids with nothing to do but play football.
The program involves ‘skill-up’ sessions before games aimed at the development of off-field skills including job seeking, job keeping and insights into Australian workplace culture.
