Launched in 2014, Female Football Week is an annual initiative aimed at elevating women and girls and their contribution to football.
As part of the celebrations, between May 19 – 28 this year, the National Female Football Week Awards took place with the theme #LoveOurGame and this time there was a Greek twist.
Greek Australian, Tina Zafiropoulos, won Victorian ‘Female Football Week’ Referee of the Year.
Zafiropoulos has been refereeing for over 20 years and is known for her friendly and joyful personality. She has refereed a high volume of games across all levels of junior, male and female age groups.
Zafiropoulos was also selected to referee at the 2023 Futsal State Championships.
The National Female Football Week Awards recognise Australian women’s football and encourages participants to embrace their love for the world game and its positive impacts.
