Mixed teams from the Victoria Police Soccer Club and Melbourne’s LGBTI clubs will once again face off for the Victoria Football Pride Cup this weekend as part of Midsumma 2019.
The tournament will take place this Saturday October 6 at Sydney’s Lambert Park in Leichhardt.
“We’ve had people say that if they find us, they’ll stab us.”
“We’re proud to show through a friendly game of sport a commitment to strengthening our relationship with LGBTI communities”
Three quarters of football fans said they would be comfortable with a player from their county’s team coming out as gay or bisexual.
“We’re proud to demonstrate that football is inclusive irrespective of your sexuality or gender”
“I grew up playing football with my brother on the boys’ team but when I turned 14 they stopped me playing because I was a girl”
“All the people on my team said the same thing – I love the story but I can’t believe they have a poll”
The Portland coach filmed his coming out in a video which has since received tens of thousands of views online.
