There's a war going on to attract the sporting participation of girls and women in Australia, and FFA boss David Gallop believes equal pay gives his code the advantage.

War is being waged at home and abroad as sports officials seeking dominance on a cluttered landscape refocus more keenly on"the women's game".

The chief executive of Football Federation Australia , David Gallop, told The Ticket,"We are in a battle for athletes". The devil will be in the detail of the Matildas' finalised pay deal as to whether historical inequities will be ironed out in the process, writes Kate O'Halloran.Gallop chose to highlight AFLW and cricket as those sports posing the most threat to football's status as the number one club-based participation sport in Australia.
