Australia’s Matildas are undoubtedly in the spotlight, as the upcoming episode of 60 Minutes on Channel 9 and 9Now prepares to showcase their sensational rise.
This special report will air on Sunday, 22 October 2023, at 8.40 pm.
Previously, the mention of women’s soccer elicited limited reactions. However, the recent World Cup transformed the scene, catapulting the Matildas to national stardom. Names like Sam, Mary, Caitlin, and Mackenzie now require no surnames; such is their prominence in the sports arena. A testament to their newfound fame: a Matildas match broke records to become the highest viewed event on Australian TV.
Tom Steinfort, both a reporter and football aficionado, takes the reins on this 60 MINUTES special. Venturing through the United Kingdom and traversing Europe, Steinfort seeks to uncover the Matildas’ exploits following their home turf success. Has the warmth of their Australian winter wonder translated to international triumph?
