Australia’s success at the World Cup is inspiring the next generation of players. But where will they play?
Karen Dickson, Bardon Latrobe’s general manager, says the club would love to expand its girls’ teams and add a women’s side into the competitive Brisbane metro leagues.Newspaper clippings recount the formation of the Queensland Women’s Ladies Soccer Football Association after a meeting of about 100 women at a Brisbane gymnasium in July 1921.reportedly attracted 10,000 spectators
Women were not officially banned but they “might as well have been”. “You didn’t get access to the good pitches, you didn’t get gear that fit, you didn’t get changing rooms, training was not held at times that suited,” Crawford says. “It really is going to require government or local councils stepping up to the plate. We know the physical and mental health benefits that football brings, so prioritising green space is going to be so crucial as we move forward.”‘… If you’re wanting to become a Matilda, then we want to have the ability to say that you can do that here,’ Karen Dickson says.
“The majority of us had never played before. I was 42 and had never kicked a ball before. We just build that rapport of just fun. We didn’t mind if you hadn’t played before.
