The FIFA Women's World Cup is being hosted in Australia and New Zealand this year, this is an exciting time for our girls' and women's Football (soccer). With the increased visibility of women playing, we hope to see more girls and women inspired to be involved as players and volunteers. We have nine Football Victoria affiliated clubs plus other clubs/ social teams in Wyndham who offer opportunities for girls and women.
Girls and women's participation is growing each year, with Football Victoria's aim to achieve 50:50 gender equality in clubs, from players to coaches to committee members.
In February we welcomed the Young Matildas (Australia’s Under 20 Women’s Football team) who called Galvin Park their home for 10 days. They invited our Wyndham young players to watch one of their training sessions, where they had the chance to chat to the players, take selfies and get autographs.
Later in the year we will welcome Morocco’s women’s team the Atlas Lionesses. They will use Wyndham as their base during the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Find out what our clubs are offering below. As it is very early in the year clubs are working hard on their plans, when we hear more about all the opportunities available, we will share them on here, so please come back to check for more information.
