The Missing Link in Australian Football

from The Swanston Explainer · host The Swanston Explainer

Australia dominates the sporting stage - swimming, cricket, AFL - but in soccer, we still fall short. The Socceroos have reached the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 twice, but why can’t they go further? Is it cost, grassroots support, or something deeper? In this episode, we unpack Australia’s struggles in soccer and analyse their performance ahead of this year’s World Cup. Follow along as we explore what’s holding Australian football back.
