The Soccer Anzacs Project

DATE: 

Sunday 30th March

LOCATION:

The Soccer Anzacs project honours Australian soccer players who served in the AIF during World War One. Most fought on the frontlines in the Dardanelles, Egypt, and the Western Front, while a few contributed in other critical roles. Featuring a database and soldier stories at www.socceranzacs.com.au, the project—led by Dr. Ian Syson—is supported by a federal government grant. This presentation offers a sneak peek at the website, set to launch on Anzac Day 2025.

Presenter: Ian Syson
