MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has told the Australian public to "watch this space" when it comes to more funding for women's sport in the wake of the Matildas' World Cup successes.
Chloe Logarzo, who plays for Western United in the A-League and competed with the Matildas in the last World Cup, said investment was needed in stadiums and training facilities from governments and sponsors.
At the community level, he said there was more investment needed in facilities like change rooms, and that volunteers and parents had to put their hands up to coach in the early stages.
The South Australian government this week pledged $18 million over three years for dedicated female sporting facilities — the amount it said it would have cost the state to put on a national holiday if the Matildas had won the World Cup.
Prior to the World Cup, the Victorian government invested $42 million in the Home of the Matildas, where national squads will be trained, although grassroots community clubs will also have access to the centre's pitches.
"We proudly back women's sport and have invested unprecedented amounts in both grassroots infrastructure and elite facilities," a Victorian government spokesperson said.
