🚨 KOORI KNOCKOUT SPONSORSHIPS ARE OPEN 🚨
KARI’s 2026 Koori Knockout sponsorship applications are officially OPEN! If you’re ready to bring the heat, represent your mob, and make this year’s Knockout unforgettable, now’s your time to shine!

People see the colour of my skin and think they have the right to question my identity.
My culture isn’t measured by the shade of my skin. It’s carried in my family, my ancestors, my values, my community, and the way I choose to walk through life.
Every time someone tells me I can’t be a proud Blackfulla because I’m fair-skinned, they don’t weaken my connection—they strengthen it.
I’ll never apologise for who I am or where I come from.
I stand taller. I speak louder. I stay connected. And I’ll always be proud to be Aboriginal.
My identity isn’t yours to define.

📣 2026 KOORI KNOCKOUT MEN’S TRAINING 📣
Training kicks off this week every Tuesday & Thursday at 6:00PM at Yarra Oval.

Since 1971 the Koori Knockout brings together thousands of players and spectators over the October long weekend for the largest annual gathering of Original people. The games are incredibly skilled with mob against mob and whoever wins gets to host the following year. Newcastle Yowies won it last year and in 26 the comp is on at Raymond Terrace. See ya there

We’re Officially 1-64 for the 2026 Koori knockout
