Developing young leaders in the Australian Muslim community through sport, education and leadership.
The Bachar Houli programs first began in 2012 with a simple objective, and that was to engage the young Muslim community through football and hopefully create role models in the community.
Since then, we’ve grown, and we’ve become a national program reaching more than 7,000 participants per year, which is extraordinary.
It just goes to show that so many wonderful people doing great things in the community, putting their heart and soul in it to give back to the younger generation, ultimately to make them better footballers, better leaders, and better Muslims.
Thank you for joining us on our journey.

I’ve learned how to be a better leader, and what it actually means to be a leader: Taking accountability, and putting everyone before yourself.

One thing I’ve learned so far is that in order to win in a group setting is that you have to apply your values and have high expectations for your group.
