Celebrating the cultural diversity of Melbourne, the Western Bulldogs will play North Melbourne in the first ever Harmony Game at Etihad Stadium on Saturday 23 June.

Australian Football is a game for everyone, where many cultures unite.  As part of the celebrations, fans will be welcomed to the stadium with live performances from several countries and a flag ceremony on ground prior to the commencement of the game that celebrates 10 countries representing the diverse backgrounds of both the North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs supporter bases and community programs.  The countries that will form part of the flag ceremony include India, China, Vietnam, Iraq, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, New Zealand and Australia.
