Sunday is also the first scheduled Hyundai Goals for Grassroots(G4GR) promotion at a Sydney FC match in 2011/12. Beverley Hills Football Club will receive a minimum donation from Hyundai of $1,000 plus an extra $1000 (up to a maximum of $5000) for every goal Sydney FC scores.
Hyundai runs an on-line application process for grassroots clubs through the Hyundai corporate and www.ilovefootball.com.au websites. From the applications, Hyundai selects a grassroots club based on the merit and needs of the club which the home Hyundai A-League Club will play for. The club must be affiliated to their Member Federation and FFA to be eligible for selection.
The next G4GR rounds are against the Central Coast Mariners on 8th Jan and the game against Wellington Phoenix on 25th February.
