The 2016 Toyota AFL Multicultural Round highlights the contribution different communities have made to Australian Football, while highlighting the extraordinary power the game has in uniting all people of all backgrounds.

As the AFL celebrates Multicultural Round this week, it’s time to take a look at the roots of some of our Fremantle players.

The club has eight players who have one or both of their parents born overseas.

Multicultural ambassador, Tendai Mzungu is extremely proud of his father’s Zimbabwean heritage.

Zac Clarke’s father was born in the United States, which might explain his love for all things basketball.

Alex Silvagni’s mother was born in India, as was Clancee Pearce’s.

Hayden Crozier also has ties to the Subcontinent, with his dad coming from Sri Lanka.

Chris Mayne’s dad and Garrick Ibbotson’s mum were born in England.

Freo youngster Harley Balic has an interesting background, his mother born in Austria and father born in Canada.

The AFL’s Multicultural Round this weekend against Melbourne will see a range of initiatives implemented, including an AFL live broadcast of the game in Spanish.
