Thank you IMA-Inspiring Muslims of Australia and Abidah Bachoo for nominating and putting this together. It is embarrassing to share something written about yourself but I really support this initiative underlying it.
Abidah in my eyes, is truly a champion who is achieving great things in her profession and community. "Managing mom life and professional hustle" in her words ๐ This initiative she created is one of them. Thank you Ivy Chen for connecting us.
Representation and positive reflections are something we still long to see in many spheres of life in Australia. If you know anyone you would like to nominate for this initiative, put them forward so we can start seeing, nurturing and sharing more positive stories of the Muslim community in Australia.
At this time, I also feel very fortunate to be embarking on a new chapter as Community Football Manager with a great team, during a special era for Football West
Thank you again to the great leaders I get to work with every dayโฝ

๐ Born in Perth/Boorloo and raised in Fremantle/Walyalup to Fijian and Pakistani parents, Abid Imam's life has always been intertwined with sports and culture. Today, he proudly serves as the Community Football Manager at Football West and the Volunteer Manager for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 Perth/Boorloo.
๐ After completing his studies in Sport Management at Curtin University, Abid embarked on a 16-year journey in sports management, leadership roles spanning football, athletics, and gymnastics. His dedication to community outcomes has left an indelible mark on Western Australia.
๐ Abid's community involvement extends beyond his professional roles. He hosts the "Freo de Janeiro" podcast, a volunteer passion project that amplifies diverse voices from places like Palestine, Pakistan, Brazil, and beyond. Through this platform, he strives to create a space for important stories and perspectives.
๐Abid played a pivotal role in managing the volunteer program for the FIFA Women's World Cup, leading a diverse team of 400 volunteers. He emphasizes inclusivity and equality in his role at Football West, managing club development to create welcoming environments for women and girls through the Football Australia Club Changer program.
๐ค But Abid's journey wasn't without challenges. Initially facing rejection in sports, he nearly gave up before landing a role at Little Athletics WA, which opened doors to a professional environment. Volunteering, he believes, makes a significant difference for young people entering any industry.
Abid's leadership roles extend to organizations like the SportWest True Sport Advisory Group and Gymnastics WA Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group. A graduate of the Leadership WA's Rising Leadership Program, his leadership philosophy revolves around continuous learning and the importance of self-investment.
๐ Abid's successful delivery of the volunteer program for the FIFA Womenโs World Cup and his contribution to the Womenโs Olympic Qualifying Tournament have garnered him recognition. Currently, a finalist for the 2023 WA Sport Awards, he continues to strive for excellence.

I've always loved and been fascinated by Brasil. The futebol, music, food, people, beaches, the language and Amazon jungle ๐ด
I went in 2014 for the FIFA World Cup and was overjoyed that I got to have an experience that justified my fascination. I returned for the Rio 2016 Olympics and that was another level because I could speak the language and pretend to be a local ๐
Lifelong family friends were made like Pri and Ed who let me live in their house without having met me before.
Here in Boorloo, learning Brazilian Portuguese has been a lot of fun, meeting friendly people, playing futebol and going to great events here in the community. 10 years ago, the first Brazilian brother I made was Lucas Storare Jacob
He's now one of the awesome singers in this cool band Pagode dos Amigos they play consistent sold out shows here.
This Saturday for Carnaval, in Walyalup at the fine surrounds of Port Beach Brewery epic garden, DJ Freo de Janeiro has been invited to heat up what will be an already hott dance floor from 4-6pm for Pagode dos Amigos then
It's a big honour and I can't wait to play some Carnaval bumpers for the community and express that BrAustralian love๐ฆ๐ง๐ท
This is why Freo de Janeiro exists, to bring cultures and people together!โ๐พ
Get your tickets and come along, because Brazilians know a thing or two about how to enjoy. ๐๐ฅhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2660798107407954
With my mum being from the Fiji Islands, Rugby 7's is a big deal. A national obsession which represents the beautiful islands on the global stage. Fiji has produced some of the finest players in history.
World Rugby is very globalised thanks to 7's with some great playing locations around the world.
I loved being in Rio 2016 to see the boys win the first Men's Rugby Olympic Gold. The Las Vegas 7's was also a cool XP. Australia is very strong in the Women's and Men's.
I love the Rugby 7's so much that I did a university assignment on it as a teenager writing about how our city should host it one day. I sent it to the Lord Mayor. She replied which was nice of her :) Now, after patiently waiting, Boorloo is hosting the Rugby 7's for the first time this weekend.
Thanks to my dear friend Kirby, DJ Freo de Janeiro will be performing on all three days.
Come along and experience the vibe of one of the world's great sporting parties, The HSBC SVNS. Come and have a boogie in between the action:
Fri 26/1 - HSBC SVNS - Sun Stage 5-8pm DJ Freo de Janeiro
Sat 27/1 - HSBC SVNS -Sun Room Lounge 11-1pm DJ Freo de Janeiro

An honour to be nominated for Football after a big year for the sport. Wouldn't be anywhere without our great leaders and team mates :)
Had the honour of bringing the MC vibes to Perth Glory's win over Adelaide United in the A-Leagues Women over the weekend.
Our team is top of the table, 4 wins from 4 and playing great football with more impressive players coming through from WA.
Also a nice interview post-game for the fans with Jessika Cowart (Philippines World Cup player).
