In 2008 the FFA announced the formation of a national women’s football competition in order to offer “an unrivalled career path for talented elite women athletes.” Since then it has grown into an essential part of Australia’s football landscape.
Easy To Watch
The best way to support the league is to get to a stadium but for those who can’t, there are a variety of ways to watch.
ABC and Foxtel have the television rights, but the MyFootball app is a great way to view the matches. If you can’t get to a screen, the W-League twitter account has play-by-play commentary providing excellent detailed coverage.
They’re Everywhere (Well...Almost)
The W-League has teams in six out of the eight states and territories with only Tasmania and the Northern Territory missing out. It's a sensational geographical presence and hopefully further expansion is on the horizon.
But until then people in many parts of the country still have a team to identify with. So if you haven’t already, pick a team, get to a game, tune in or log on and enjoy what the professional league has to offer.
