It’s 2 weeks since the Kainey Cup in Jakarta against the Bintangs and 2 weeks until the ANZAC Friendship Match in Vung Tau against the Malaysia Warriors, so now is a good time to reflect on where we want the future of football to be in Asia.
Prior to the Kainey Cup, Mr Kainey himself reflected on how the AusKick programme in Jakarta has resulted in having 2 teams of local talent playing in Jakarta and vying for a chance to run out onto the MCG prior to the 2014 Grand Final.
It took about 10 years, but the future of football amongst the locals in Jakarta seems assured.
Go Swannies and keep those AusKick programmes coming along.
