Hamza was appointed Ambassador of Back to Belmore in November 2016. Born in Chicago, United States, Hamza migrated to Australia with his family at the age of four, settling in the Canterbury-Bankstown district where he has lived ever since. He first endeared himself to Back to Belmore in 2009, when as a 16-year-old volunteer he stepped forward to contribute to the organisation's mission to save Belmore Sports Ground.
Good role models in sport are rare; those who bridge cultural divides and unite communities are rarer still. As the first Muslim to serve as a volunteer youth leader for Back to Belmore, Hamza has become an authentic role model for young athletes of all backgrounds. He brings a unique blend of skills and innate qualities that help amplify our voice and mission across his extensive community networks.
Hamza has shown an unwavering commitment to the redevelopment of Belmore Sports Ground as a top-class venue, and to creating opportunities for aspiring athletes throughout the Canterbury-Bankstown district. Through his connections to many local institutions, Hamza contributes invaluable knowledge, passion and dedication to the advancement of local sport and nurturing of young talent.
A long-serving volunteer, Hamza embodies everything that is good, inclusive and community-focused about grassroots sport. He is a steadfast advocate for preserving Belmore Sports Ground, dedicating his time and energy to a cause close to his heart. Hamza plays a pivotal role in raising awareness and promoting our mission, always keen to use his experience to help Back to Belmore fulfil its mandate to the Canterbury-Bankstown community.
Back to Belmore is proud and honoured to have Hamza Anwer as our Ambassador. His tireless efforts have made a real difference and continue to inspire us all.
