In pursuit of my dream to play soccer for Australia at international level I have recently been selected to represent Western Australia in the under 16’s Emerging Socceroos national Championship tournament in Melbourne this July 2025.

I play soccer for Perth Glory NPL under 18’s in Western Australia and have been with the club for the past three years as part of the junior and senior academy set up.

As a young athlete trying to balance school and full time training makes it very challenging.

Attending this tournament involves significant costs, including: 

✔ Flights (Perth to Melbourne/Victoria) 

✔ Accommodation & Meals for the duration of the tournament 

✔ Training & Equipment (gear, recovery tools, etc.) 

✔ Team Fees & Uniforms 

Your support will be greatly appreciated, allowing me to focus on performing at my best and representing my state, club and Football West with pride.

This tournament is a key pathway to higher levels of identification, including A-League, youth national teams, and overseas opportunities. 

Your contribution is greatly appreciated and helps me in my journey toward a professional career. 

Thank you so much Riley Hesketh
