VFUA Mini Olympics 2026

By Victorian Football Umpires Association

We're fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.

The VFUA are looking forward to hosting the annual Mini Olympics competition in memory of Paul Anderson, a former VFL boundary umpire who passed away in 2001 after succumbing to cancer.
