August 7 – Football Australia Chief Executive James Johnson has hit back at suggestions the women’s national team are “pampered” amid intense scrutiny following their group phase elimination at the Paris Olympics.
The Matildas were expected to challenge for a medal after finishing fourth at Tokyo in 2021 and reaching the semi-finals of the Women’s World Cup on home soil last year.
However, losses to Germany and the United States either side of a 6-5 win over Zambia saw them miss out on a place in the quarterfinals.
