Hey All,

My name is Pier and I have been given the privilege to wear the green and gold for Australia in its first World Cup appearance in the IFAF Flag Football Championship held in Lahti, Finland from August 23rd to September 1st. 

For many that have followed my football journey over the years would know how much time i have dedicated towards playing at the highest level within American Football in Australia. 

Earlier last year, Flag Football was announced as a new Olympic sport that will debut in LA2028. With this recent announcement it has not only elevated the sport, but it has opened up the opportunity for Australia to build towards the goal of Olympic qualification.  

The IFAF Flag Football World Cup held this August in Finland will be crucial in laying the foundation for the sport as we start to build towards the dream goal of Olympic qualification in 2026/2027. The Australian Womens Team is currently ranked 10th in the world. 

Flag Football is non-contact American Football. It is a 5 a side football game played out on a 25 x 90m field with little to no contact. Flag Football is a relatively new sport in Australia and all athletes within the sport have to self-fund themselves to get to all domestic and international tournaments. And costs over time start to add up with registration, accommodation, uniform, training facilities, flights, equipment etc.

Any donation no matter the value will me get there. Even a share of this post can go a long way.  

The goal is to help Australia get to the Olympics for Flag Football and the dream is to be a part of that journey for a sport that i have dedicated tirelessly too over the last 11 years in Australia.  

Competition costs: $3500 (includes accommodation, registration, uniform,) 

Additional costs (Equipment, travel, camp costs): $1000

Thank you all for believing and keeping the dream alive!
