A bridge between Sicily and WA For the first time in its history, Palermo FC is preparing to travel to Australia for a tour of Western Australia that will bring together football, identity and a deep connection to place, as part of Calcio Italiano in Perth, the festival celebrating the best of Italian football in Western Australia. The Rosanero club’s mission is to build a bridge between Palermo, Sicily and the thousands of people living in Western Australia who continue to maintain a strong connection with their roots. This initiative is aimed not only at Palermo supporters, but at the wider Sicilian and Italo-Australian community: migrant families, new generations born in Australia, and everyone who continues to identify with the values, colours and traditions of Sicily. Palermo will arrive in Australia not only as a football team, but as a symbol of belonging and an ambassador for a contemporary Sicily capable of bringing together sport, culture, creativity, flavour and hospitality. During the tour, the team will take part in two prestigious fixtures in Perth: the Anglo-Palermitan Trophy against Melbourne City on 7 August at the Sam Kerr Football Centre, and the match against Juventus on 11 August at HBF Stadium. Alongside the matches, the Club will deliver a program of activities for families, young footballers, supporters and local communities, combining sporting events, appearances by Rosanero figures, entertainment, and cultural and social initiatives.
