Warriors joined ACTIVATE Brisbane

On Sunday, 12 July, Warriors Team Brisbane took part in the inaugural ACTIVATE Brisbane, a full-day fitness and sports festival held at Yeronga Eagles Football Club.

Created by Irene Lalana from Irela Aqua & Fitness, ACTIVATE was the first event of its kind in Brisbane, bringing together people from different cultural backgrounds through sport, fitness and wellbeing. The day featured group fitness classes, family runs, a five-a-side soccer tournament, wellness workshops and activities for children, creating a welcoming space for people of all ages to connect and get active.

Warriors was proud to be part of the event, entering two mixed teams in the five-a-side soccer tournament. It was a great opportunity for our members to play together outside our regular sessions, meet new people and enjoy a fun day of football. To top it off, one of our teams finished third overall.

ACTIVATE Brisbane is the kind of initiative Warriors is proud to join. We share the same values of inclusion, wellbeing and community, and the belief that sport is one of the best ways for newcomers to build friendships and feel at home in a new city. Events like this remind us that movement brings people together, and community is what keeps them coming back.

Thank you, Irene, for proposing sporting events within the community. We hope this is the first of many events moving together.
