McInnes to feature in celeb soccer match
Thursday Jun 28 12:36 AEST

Two-time Logie award-winning actor William McInnes will feature in a celebrity soccer match at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.

McInnes, a Queenslander who made his name in TV series Blue Heelers and Seachange, will play in the Queensland Roars Against Racism match.

The celebrity match will be the opener to A-League team Queensland Roar's battle with South Africa's Supersport United for the Translink Cup.

McInnes said it was easy to be involved in the campaign because he supported the anti-racism messages.

"I am glad I can use any position or profile I might have for campaigns that ultimately aim to better the community as a whole," he said.

"Racism is not something we should turn our backs on and if we all play our part in trying to preventing negative attitudes, it will make the world a better place."

Others in the celebrity team include league star Steve Renouf and athlete Tatiana Grigorieva.
The Queensland Roars Against Racism campaign, launched by Premier Peter Beattie in Johannesburg in March, is a three-year partnership between the government and Queensland Roar FC.

It will include a range of events and activities to challenge racist attitudes.

Celebrities against racism play footy

Retired sports stars Cathy Freeman and Steve Renouf will join actor William McInnes and newsreader Anton Enus in lacing up their football boots to spread the anti-racism message in Brisbane next month.

Celebrities will join Queensland MPs in a curtain raiser to the July 1 soccer match between the Queensland Roar and South Africa's SuperSport United at Suncorp Stadium.

The game is the first major event in the Against Racism campaign, aimed at sending a message to Queenslanders racism will not be tolerated.

"This match is a great way to celebrate the cultural diversity in our state and highlight that actions of racism will not be tolerated," Queensland Multiculturalism Minister Lindy Nelson-Carr said.

Among the MPs to take the field will be health minister Stephen Robertson, while other celebrities involved are former ironwoman Lisa Curry-Kenny, musician James Blundell and actor Ditch Davey.
