SYDNEY : Current and former international soccer players from Australia's Indigenous community have criticised the lack of legacy funding targeting First Nations football as the country hosts the Women's World Cup.
"The claim that there has been a lack of funding for grassroots indigenous football programs within the 'Legacy '23' initiative is not accurate," it said."We want to make it clear that the support and advancement of Indigenous football programs are integral parts of our commitment." In a more practical measure, FIFA also highlighted the membership of First Nations and Maori business supplier networks to expand and diversify sustainable procurement models including gifting, catering, furniture, creative, biodiversityAustralia's Indigenous peoples have inhabited the continent for tens of thousands of years, but have faced centuries of discrimination and neglect since colonisation by Britain in 1788.
The letter was organised by the Moriarty Foundation, whose founder, John Moriarty, was the first Indigenous footballer to represent Australia at soccer.
