Description

Professional Footballers Australia has released its report into the 2024-25 A-League Women's season and it's not pretty reading. The report shows a drop in crowds, salaries that don't compete with other women's competitions and talent that would prefer to play elsewhere. After the glow of the home Women's World Cup for the Matildas, has the domestic competition missed its moment?
