From creating history at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, to achieving pay parity with the Socceroos, and securing the rights to jointly host the Women’s World Cup in 2023 - this list represents just how far we’ve come since inaugural Matildas captain Connie Byrnes donned the armband in 1978.
As a nation, we have revelled with the side when they’ve won and supported them when they’ve encountered off-field dramas, which included the unsavoury pay strike, the controversial sacking of coach Alen Stajcic and crashing out of France 2019 in the round of 16.
In the last year however, there have been more philosophical wins, both on and off the pitch, than there have been losses.

Victory stun Sydney FC to earn crown of Champions
MELBOURNE Victory are the 2020/21 Westfield W-League champions, and they did it the hard way.
Teenage star Kyra Cooney-Cross was the hero for Victory, delivering a corner that swerved straight into the Sydney goal in the last seconds of extra-time, with a penalty shoot-out beckoning.
It was a devastating blow for the home side, and particularly goalkeeper Jada Whyman who was unable to keep out Cooney-Cross’s corner but had delivered a series of remarkable saves to keep her side on level terms until the very end.
But ultimately Victory were deserved champions, owning the big occasion and creating a series of chances that were spurned until the final seconds.

Germany has had the luxury of playing in the last year. The team qualified for the Euros in 2022. Their last four qualification matches in the back half of 2020 saw them earn four wins from four games, scoring 15 times and conceding only once.
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s side also played two friendlies in February of this year. A 2-0 win over Belgium was followed by a 2-1 loss to the Netherlands – the team’s first defeat since the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup quarter final.
Australia and Germany last played each other at Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Spoils were shared on the day with a 2-2 draw the final result. Goals to Sam Kerr and Caitlin Foord were cancelled out thanks to Sara Dabritz and Saskia Bartusiak.
