* The 50-metre arcs have the word FIFTY painted on them in one of the seven languages. 

* Port Adelaide and Greater Western Sydney are wearing multicultural-themed guernseys, while Gold Coast, West Coast and the Western Bulldogs will wear themed warm-up gear. The Power's jumper features the Australian and Chinese flags on the front and players' names in Mandarin on the back. The Giants' jumper has hands interlinked on the front representing solidarity between all people, standing together and living in unity and harmony. The guernsey also features the United Nations Refugee Agency logo.

Clubs are running culturally diverse pre-game activities and on-field entertainment, including food festivals, dancing and fireworks displays, movie screenings and giveaways. The Giants are hosting the AFL Multicultural Festival, presented by Australia Post, at Cathy Freeman Park, outside Spotless Stadium, from 11am on Saturday.
