ABOUT THE SYDNEY SWANS FOUNDATION

In 2005, we heard those iconic words: “Leo Barry, you star!” 

That Premiership win didn't just mark a historic moment for the Sydney Swans -  it sparked the beginning of a lifelong ambition. That same year, the Sydney Swans Foundation was born. 

Now, 20 years on, the Foundation continues to shape the next generation of red and white – proudly supporting the QBE Sydney Swans Academy and future stars of our game.
