18.01.2022 Watching the Matildas at the #FIFAWWC this morning it was hard to imagine that on Monday 5 December 1921, the English Football Association declared football ‘unsuitable’ for women and banned women from playing on their grounds. The Australian governing body elected to follow suit on February 1922. This didn't stop women playing football though! In QLD a match was played that year between Brisbane Ladies and Brisbane City, with reporters noting they were not informed until after it had taken place. Another match was advertised as ‘unusual spectacle' and yet another was reported in the Capricornian Newspaper (Rockhampton). Pictured are some Brisbane players a few years after the ban in 1926. #unstoppable #womenssoccer #womensfootballmemories #womeninsportmatter #playlikeagirl

13.01.2022 We're ecstatic to be at the #FIFAWWC in France this week! But, did you know before the first #FIFAWWC in 1991, our national Australian women’s team was still kicking goals internationally? Here they are in #1988 at the FIFA Women’s International Tournament in Taiwan . #GoMatildas... #sportinghistory See more

09.01.2022 During the 60s in Brisbane women’s teams were not able to have a Senior’s Competition of their own but that didn’t stop them. Instead the women’s games were organised through the Brisbane Junior Soccer Association. Commentators and skeptics, usually pedalling archaic attitudes, were quick to point to a lack of quality. They did not or could not see it as a case of limited knowledge. They called it ‘kick and giggle’, missing the players’ courage and willingness to learn. Pictured is the Wynnum Ladies team in 1965. #throwbackthursday #vintagephotograph #unstoppable #qldsoccer #womenssoccer #1960sfootball #soccerwomenplay
