The Cup of Nations – FIFA’s friendlies are upon us with Cheryl making sure we know who, where and when to watch! In A Chat With Jacs, John Didulica, Director of Football, Melbourne Victory shares with us soccer’s fascinating history in Australia as a game that unifies and educates, breaking through, gender, economic, religious and cultural barriers, and continues to do so in leaps and bounds with the A-Leagues Pride Cup and Pride Celebration in embracing the Rainbow community. Football belongs – Eight matches that explain Australia is a must read exploring how football has played a fundamental role in shaping the nation. The future is bright with an ambitious agenda ensuring it is a game for everyone! In Demetra’s Drama, the discussion revolves around nationalism in sport, and particularly on the role of waving flags and national anthems. And in Soupy’s Surprising Sports to mix it up a little, we enjoy a chat with Soupy’s Surprising Guest – Dion Alexander, Rainbow Swans committee member and Mr Gay Pride Australia 2022 to tell us all about how the Sydney Swans are supporting and celebrating diversity and inclusion at Sydney WorldPride and Mardi Gras!
