“We are extremely proud to once again be the Major Sponsor of the Westfield FFA Cup,” said Allen.
“Just like the local clubs that participate in this competition, our Westfield shopping centres are very much part of their communities, and we look forward to showing our continued support to all the teams taking part in the Cup’s fourth season.”
