To celebrate NAIDOC Week, the Monaro Panthers Football Club are inviting you to join us at the exclusive Riverside Stadium for the next home game of the season scheduled for this SUNDAY 2nd of July, Monaro Panthers FC v Canberra Olympic FC. 

Main game - 1st grade Mens is commencing at 3.00pm. The Monaro Panthers Football Club will be paying respect to the Ngambri, Ngarigu, Ngunnawal, and Walbunja people, the first habitants of the Queanbeyan-Palerang region with a welcome to country and smoking ceremony prior to kick off.

u23s will kick off at 12:45pm.

The Monaro Panthers Football Club will be wearing the club's inaugural NAIDOC Shirt designed by local First Nations artist Tahnia Garbutt-Canning. 

Tahnia, a proud Aboriginal woman from Yakunytjatjara and Bundjalung nation, gave her insights on the story behind the artwork on the shirt. 

"The meeting symbol represents the 11 starting players in the Monaro team. The design in the inner circle represents the artistry of the players and cheering supporters,”

 “The rivers leading into the inner meeting symbol represent the Molonglo River that runs past Riverside Stadium. The orange symbols represent significant moments in the club’s history."
