At every FIFA World Cup, one thing keeps happening.

Kids run up smiling. Fans stop to laugh. TV cameras turn. Strangers ask for photos.

That’s when they meet Kenny the Kangaroo.

For the past five World Cups, we’ve travelled the world as Australian football supporters, proudly carrying our 1.5‑metre inflatable kangaroos into stadiums, fan parks and city streets. Kenny has become a symbol of joy, connection and Aussie spirit — bringing people together through the global language of football.

This year, we’re giving Kenny a bigger purpose.

Why We’re Doing This

We’re raising funds for the Brisbane Paralympic Football Program, a grassroots community that uses football to support players of all abilities — building confidence, health, friendships and lifelong opportunities through the game.

These athletes train, compete and dream just like any other footballer. What they need is support, resources, and the chance to keep playing the sport they love.

That’s where Kenny comes in.

As we travel during the World Cup, every photo, every laugh, every interaction becomes a chance to turn joy into impact — helping fund equipment, coaching, travel and development for Brisbane’s Paralympic footballers.

Where Your Donation Goes

100% of funds raised will go directly to the Brisbane Paralympic Football Program, helping to:

Provide training equipment and uniforms

Fund coaching, programs and year‑round participation

Keep football accessible, inclusive and fun for all players

Why It Works

Football brings the world together.

Kenny makes people smile.

Your donation makes a real, lasting difference.

If just a small fraction of the people who meet Kenny donate a few dollars, we can make a huge impact — together.
