A 10-part podcast series exploring women empowerment through sport and personal stories of social change lensed against the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Executive produced for the State Library of WA and the Centre for Stories.
In the lead-up to Perth hosting some of the games for one of the world's largest sporting tournaments, the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023, I sat down with local Perth and WA women, who rose up against inequality and stereotypes to champion the game of soccer as far back as the 1970s.
We hear from elite athletes past and present considered to be the best in the game both locally and globally; and from community role models who are courageously making soccer more accessible and equitable for future generations of women, young girls and newcomers of all genders to the game. Self-belief, sacrifice and strength is what it takes to become a champion of soccer.
