The Asian Football Confederation Cup of Nations will be held in Australia in 2015. The Matildas will defend their Asian championship crown in 2014 and aim to qualify for the World Cup in Canada in 2015. Men and women can also look forward to another trip to Brazil in 2016 for the football competition at the Olympic Games. The beautiful game has grown in popularity and participation since the creation of the A-League in 2005, success in the World Cup in Germany in 2006 and entry into the Asian Confederation in that year. Football has shown that it can bring the entire nation together in international competition. Football has a long and fascinating history in Australia stretching back to the mid-19th century. It is a rich history, closely related to one of the main themes in this country’s development: immigration and the problems of integration of successive generations into a rapidly evolving national identity.

Download or read book Aboriginal People and Australian Football in the Nineteenth Century written by Roy Hay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will revolutionise the history of Indigenous involvement in Australian football in the second half of the nineteenth century. It collects new evidence to show how Aboriginal people saw the cricket and football played by those who had taken their land and resources and forced their way into them in the missions and stations around the peripheries of Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. They learned the game and brought their own skills to it, eventually winning local leagues and earning the respect of their contemporaries. They were prevented from reaching higher levels by the gatekeepers of the domestic game until late in the twentieth century. Their successors did not come from nowhere.

Download or read book The Containment of Soccer in Australia written by Christopher J. Hallinan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, outdoor soccer was the second most popular organized sport for Australian children after swimming. It far outstripped the popularity of the three other football codes that are played in Australia – rugby league, rugby union and Australian Rules football. Yet the soccer participation phenomenon in Australia is matched neither by the media coverage of the game in these countries, nor by the academic interest in the game. With a few notable exceptions in academic sports history, the game of soccer remains understudied in comparison with the other football codes. And, apart from some interest that is generated by World Cup campaigns, the media coverage of soccer is largely marginalized, and becomes most emphasized when reporting on aspects of ‘hooligan’ crowd behaviour. This book investigates some of the ways that soccer has been maintained as marginal to Australian identity, and why the sport remains vitally important to some marginalized groups within these communities. This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Download or read book That Night written by Adam Peacock and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wednesday, November 16, 2005. 80,000 people at the Olympic Stadium in Sydney, millions around the country couldn’t believe what they had witnessed. The Socceroos, after a 32 year wait had qualified for World Cup. 32 years of heartache, despair, and a sleeping giant of Australian sport continuingly falling into a deeper and deeper sleep thanks to infighting and incompetence was awake. After 2 hours in Sydney, and 90 minutes in the seething atmosphere of Montevideo 4 days earlier, Mark Schwarzer’s giant hands and John Aloisi’s magical left foot allowed Australia to sneak past Uruguay in a penalty shootout – the worst and best way to end a contest of this magnitude. That Night isn’t just about a game of football though. It delves into the story of why we had to wait 32 years, talking to the players who lived through those nightmares. Losing to New Zealand in 1981, Scotland in 1985, a Maradona-inspired Argentina in 1993 and our most haunting nightmare, Iran in 1997. The players that were on the field That Night tell their stories like never before of how they got to that moment, what their role in the success on That Night was. It wasn’t simply a case of showing up to play 2 games against Uruguay. This was the culmination of a career spent mainly away from these shores to get somewhere in the world’s biggest sport. Kewell, Aloisi, Viduka, Emerton, Culina, Grella, Bresciano, Popovic, Vidmar, Skoko. Who knows were the sport would be if we didn’t get to the World Cup. Certainly nowhere near where it is now. The Socceroos got the attention, Australia got worldwide recognition at the 2006 World Cup, the A League grew, marquee names eventually made their way to play here, professionalism and corporate interest went to new levels, far, far removed from the days of struggle pre-2005, when the A League started. It all changed, That Night.
