Ever since she first laced up a pair of boots, Zara has lived and breathed footy. Now, all those freezing morning training sessions, muddy weekend matches, and endless kicks in the backyard have paid off in the biggest way possible.

We are incredibly proud to announce that Zara has been selected to represent Victoria in the Under-12 Girls Australian Football team!

This August 2026, Zara will be packing her bags and heading to the nation’s capital, Canberra, to compete at the national championships against the best young talent from all over the country.

Earning the right to pull on the famous navy blue "Big V" jumper is a massive achievement and a dream come true for her.

She has worked tirelessly to get to this point, showing incredible grit, teamwork, and passion for the game.

Why We Need Your Help

While the excitement is through the roof, getting to a national tournament is a significant financial commitment.

To help make Zara's dream a reality, we have set up this page to raise funds for the trip.

Your generous support will go directly towards covering the essential costs of the tournament, including:

Travel and Accommodation: Flights to Canberra and lodging for the duration of the championships.

The "Big V" Gear: Her official Victorian team uniform, playing kit, and protective gear.

Registration: Tournament entry and official registration fees.

Be Part of Zara's Team

Whether it’s the cost of a hot pie at the footy or a larger contribution, every single donation makes a huge difference and gets Zara one step closer to the opening bounce in Canberra.

If you aren't in a position to donate right now, simply sharing this page with your friends, family, and community networks would mean the absolute world to us.

Thank you so much for backing Zara, believing in her talent, and helping her take this massive step in her footy journey. We can't wait to see her shine on the national stage!
