Fiona Crawford www.agirlcalledfred.com shares with us the history of the Matildas, Australia’s Womens National Football (soccer) Team, from the 1980s when they couldn’t keep their kit, to the current excitement of the 2023 World Cup campaign. We discuss the impact of the success of the Matildas on women’s sport, pay equity and achieving facilities worthy of elite athletes. The interview also reveals the curious decision-making process by FIFA and Australia’s previous bid to host the FIFA Womens World Cup, how human rights threads through female sport, unknown stories such as the Aussies behind the campaign to enable players the right to wear a burka, and what will be the legacy of the 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup.
Fiona Crawford is a writer, editor and researcher who’s work spans social and environmental issues, the arts and football. Fiona is an adjunct lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology’s Centre for Justice.
