For the past month, the world came together to watch the World Cup, the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Matilda’s left a legacy on Australian soil, coming in 4th place. This is a massive achievement. We also saw the final on Sunday night, with Spain defeating England 1-0. With the success of the FIFA World Cup and the Netball World Cup, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a 200 million dollar boost into funding women’s sports in Australia. This is a huge stepping stone for the future of sports in Australia.  Dr Kasey Symons, a Research Fellow from Swinburne University of Technology in sports innovation, joined the Monday Daily to unpack the world cup and discuss the future of women’s sports.
