Over the course of the past two months, one man has made headlines and scroll-stopped time and time again as Wests APIA FC emerged onto the national stage.
With 3 crucial goals across our @AusChampionship campaign, our Players’ Player of the Inaugural Season is 𝑫𝒓𝒆 🇨🇦🇯🇲

A player who excited every time he touched the ball this season. From the stunning winner against Rockdale in Round 8, to scoring the opener against Melbourne City in the cup, and that insane volley in the Grand Final..
He came to life like never before in Season 2025 and stunned audiences far and wide.
So deservedly, both our Players’ Player and Player of the Year awards for 2025 go to 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝑺𝒆𝒊𝒚𝒂 𝑲𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒂𝒚𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒊 🇯🇵❤️

Taking a moment amidst our awards announcements to once again thank and celebrate our Senior Men’s & Women’s Sponsors from Season 2025.
For some this was their first year backing the Granatazzuri, some have been with us for years. But both are equally the reason we’re able to do what we do ❤️🔥

Onto our internal awards night accolades! It was a fantastic season for our Under 20s, reaching their Grand Final as well and coming so close to silverware.
As far as individual praise goes, the team and staff alike elected youngster Yohann D’Souza as both the Players’ Player of the Year and Phil Botallico MVP for 2025 🙌

The Wests APIA FC mission going in was to create an elite national competitor of a football club for our proud inner west and Italo-Australian communities and far beyond to call their own.
With your backing, pride and continued support, in our inaugural campaign we were able to deliver just that.
Thank you to everyone who played a part in our first ever Australian Championship season, not least to our proud partners Wests Ashfield. We already can not wait for the backend of 2026 with you 💜

While a Seniors’ Presentation night, we couldn’t not take this chance to celebrate the success of our GYL-graduating Under 18s in 2025.
Almost all of this double-winning squad have been at APIA since our first ever Girls SAP program back in 2018. The future is looking bright in our aim to field an all-APIA First Grade team in years to come 🏆❤️🔥
It was incredibly hard to select standout individuals from this incredible team. That’ll be part the reason why we ended out with a joint Players’ Player of the Year vote – between Tahlia Hedley & Lexi Modena 👯♀️
The MVP pick from the coaches went to Mikayla Gulabovski 👏

Where do we start.. just two goals overall less than a tough and strong Bulls side are the difference between us and a treble. This most persevering of teams gave it their absolute all, but we fall just short in the 2025 NPL.
This team, the APIA Women`s program overall, traditionally has become known and respected for how it picks itself up from the canvas and reaches unprecedented heights and glories. Rest assured this club intends to do no less than that in the year and years to come.
We will be back in the big dance, we will have our day soon. For now this hurts, but we take immense pride and togetherness into 2026 and beyond. Thank you for being the best supporters in this competition.
