Sydney: Australia’s W-League kicks off on Friday celebrating a tenth campaign and boosted by a variety of landmarks off the field.
Launched in the wake of Australia’s breakthrough showing at the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the W-League has slowly gathered momentum each season.
That impetus is set to be further bolstered following the spectacular success of the national team in recent months.
The Matildas have knocked over the world champions USA, 2015 Women’s World Cup runners-up Japan, new European holders the Netherlands and South American queens Brazil in this calendar year alone. That success was rewarded with significant media coverage and two record home crowds for last month’s matches against Brazil.
