Students from Islamic schools competed in the xx The Bachar Houli Secondary Boys Cup on November 5, with Al-ameen College winning the cup for the first time. 

Held at Des Penman Reserve, Nollamara, the Cup featured students from Year’s 7, 8 and 9 representing Australian Islamic College Dianella, Australian Islamic College Henley Brook and Al-Ameen College in a round-robin carnival. 

The event provided a platform for young Muslim boys to compete and build confidence, while showcasing football’s role in promoting diversity and bringing people together. 

Al-Ameen College’s victory marked a proud achievement for the school and its community. The team remained undefeated throughout the competition, without conceding a goal. 

Al-Ameen College teacher Shady Fouda described it as an incredible day of football, where individual brilliance and flawless teamwork came together to deliver a performance that will be remembered in the school’s sporting history. 

“The team had been training relentlessly in the lead-up to the Bachar Houli Cup, focusing on building their skills, developing their team dynamics, and fine-tuning their game strategies,” Fouda said. 

“Their commitment was evident from the first whistle, and they quickly made a name for themselves with their defensive resilience and attacking flair. 

“What really set this team apart, however, was their sense of unity. 

“It was clear that they weren’t just teammates; they were a family. 

West Australian Football Commission Multicultural Officer Pinar Komur said the Bachar Houli Cup aims to promote cultural inclusion and increase junior participation in football. 

“The Bachar Houli cup is not only about playing football; it’s about creating opportunities for young people to connect, build confidence and experience the value of sport in connecting people,” Komur said. 

“This event demonstrates the diversity of the WA football community, and the role sport can play in uniting people from all backgrounds."
