    Why Has Soccer Not Become the Code of Football in Australia

    Deakin Research Online Deakin University’s institutional research repository DDeakin Research Online Research Online This is the authors final peer reviewed version of the item published as: Hay, Roy 2006-04, Our wicked foreign game : why has association football (Soccer) not became the main code of football in Australia?, Soccer and society, vol. 7, no. 2-3, pp. 165-186. Copyright : 2006, Taylor & Francis ..‘Our wicked foreign game’: Why has Association Football (soccer) not become the main code of football in Australia?∗ Roy Hay Sports and Editorial Services Australia Introduction Soccer, ‘our wicked foreign game’, is not the main code of football in any state in Australia, but it is probably the second in most states if measured by spectator attendance or participation.1 In Victoria, Australian rules is number one, while in New South Wales, rugby league is the dominant code. The phenomenon is not unique to Australia. None of the white dominions of the old British Empire nor the former British colony the United States has soccer as its main code, with the exception of South Africa where the non-white population has taken up Association Football.2 In most of these countries soccer is characterised as a migrants’ game, even though many of the migrants playing or watching the game are of second or later generations. Explanations for the secondary position of soccer in Australia ought therefore to be compared with those for these other countries, and if we seek a comprehensive explanation of this phenomenon then the Australian story ought not to vary too much from those applied to the others, unless it can be clearly shown that Australian experience and conditions were indeed different.3 This article concentrates on the domestic experience in Australia, with a view to introducing and outlining some of the issues which might be drawn into an effective international comparison.

    Dear City of Melbourne Meeting Group Team This is a written response in regards to Agenda Item 6.1 Ministerial Planning Referral : ID - 2020-2 Carlton Recreation Ground, Princes Park, Carlton. FMC Meeting 18th August 2020. AFLW is an exceptional, entertaining elite sport that is growing in popularity. It's appropriate for the City of Melbourne to support the ambition to develop Princes Park and create a world class venue for the AFLW, it's administrators, players, supporters and volunteers. It is appropriate to acknowledge that the ground is on Wurundjeri country in the Kulin Nation. It was at Princes Park that the first AFLW match between Carlton and Collingwood was played before a sell out crowd. A feat that Gillon McLaughlin appreciated at the time. So there is important history concerning the AFLW here. In regards to the broadcast standard lighting requirements and the general lighting around the ground for safety and amenity, having a dialogue with commercial television technicians and the theatrical lighting teams from the John Summer Theatre and the Malthouse Theatres would help. In regards to concerns about overshadowing, there should be consideration given to the fact that there is an asphalt car park on the western side of the ground. The City of Melbourne should not discourage future plans to include developers and builders seeking exemptions concerning overshadowing in this area. Further opportunities to expand and improve facilities over the car park should be considered. With appropriate setbacks at the upper levels. There should be child minding facilities at this site, as well perhaps creating a Kindergarten.

    Brisbane Magic Futsal Advisory Panel Les Murray AM

    Brisbane Magic Futsal Advisory Panel Les Murray AM Brisbane Magic Futsal is extremely pleased to announce Australia's leading football identity, Mr Les Murray AM as a member our Advisory Panel. Mr Murray began work as a journalist in 1971, changing his name from his native Hungarian for commercial reasons. In between, he found time to perform as a singer in the Rubber Band musical group. He moved to Network Ten as a commentator in 1977, before moving to the multi-cultural network where he made a name for himself - SBS - in 1980. Mr Murray began at SBS as a subtitler in the Hungarian language, but soon turned to covering football. He has been the host for the SBS coverage of football including World Cups since 1986, as well as Australia's World Cup Qualifiers, most memorably in 1997 and 2005. He is a member of Football Federation Australia - Football Hall of Fame as recognition for his contributions to the sport. Mr Murray has been host to several sports programs for SBS over the year, which includes On the Ball (1984 - 2000), The World Game (2001 - present) and Toyota World Sports (1990 - 2006). On June 1, 2006, Murray published his autobiography, By the Balls. Murray was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to Association football on June 12, 2006 as part of the Queen's Birthday honours list. In 1996, Murray became SBS's Sports Director, and in 2006, stepped down. He has decided to become an editorial supervisor for SBS instead, while his on-air role remains the same.

    SBS to Farewell Football Analyst, Craig Foster, After 18 Years with the Network

    24 June 2020 SBS to farewell football analyst, Craig Foster, after 18 years with the network SBS today announced that multi award-winning sports broadcaster, Craig Foster, will leave his permanent role at SBS as Chief Football Analyst at the end of July to pursue other challenges. SBS plans to continue working with Craig in the future on the network’s marquee football events. Craig will broadcast FIFA’s decision for hosting rights to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ on Friday morning at 8am on SBS, alongside Lucy Zelić, as a fitting farewell to an 18-year career. Craig Foster said: “My deepest gratitude to SBS Chairpersons, Directors, management, colleagues and our loyal viewers across football and news for an incredible journey. SBS provided not just an opportunity, but a mission back in 2002 and I instantly knew that we were aligned in our values, love of football and vision for the game. But the organisational spirit of inclusion, acceptance of diversity and promotion of Australia’s multicultural heart struck me most deeply. We brought this to life through football, but the mission was always to create a better Australia and world. My own challenges lie in this field and I will miss the people, above all, though I will never be too far away. I will always be deeply proud of having called SBS home for so long and look forward to walking down memory lane and thanking everyone personally over the next month.” SBS Managing Director, James Taylor, said: “Craig is one of the finest football analysts and commentators, and has made a significant contribution to SBS over almost two decades.

  • Football Federation Australia

    Football Federation Australia

    Football (Soccer): Football Federation Australia “I’d argue with kids at school and they all were convinced that rugby league was the most popular world sport. That shows how isolated Australia was. Soccer had to be introduced by migrants. We’ve come a long way.”1 Brazilian Ambassador once wondered whether Australians had a linguistic or an anatomical problem, since they seemed to reserve the term ‘football’ for games in Awhich the players predominantly use their hands.2 Such is the seeming contradiction in Australia where the term for the game played with the feet is called soccer and football (which is rugby league, rugby union or Aussie rules depending on where you live) is played mostly with the hands. Football is no longer the poor cousin of the ‘big four’ national sports in Australia – cricket, rugby league, Australian rules football and rugby union. Following the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the game has finally come of age in Australia and is starting to seriously challenge the other sports for spectator, sponsor and media support. Tracing football’s roots Playing a ball game using the feet has been happening for thousands of years. Early history reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, which are related to the modern game of football. The earliest form of the game for which there is reliable evidence dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China. Another form of the game, also originating in the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari, which dates from about 500 to 600 years later and is still played today.3 However, it is almost certain that the development of the modern game took place in England and Scotland.
