Queensland Police were once again invited to join Islamic leaders (Imams), Officers from the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and local politicians in a ‘five-a-side’ round robin football tournament to celebrate the fourth Anniversary of the Bosnian Islamic Centre, Eight Miles Plains.
The QPS team showcased some creative footwork during their matches but ultimately fell short during a penalty shootout against the AFP, who would go onto meet the Imams on their home turf in the grand final.
Despite the AFP’s valiant efforts, the Imams proved too strong and claimed a well-deserved 5-1 victory.
