Football Belongs: Australia's Football Identity, by Optus Sport

8 months ago

Welcome to Optus Sport's podcast instalment of the Football Belongs title, with a series charting the cultural threads of Australian society through the lens of nine football matches.


The Football Belongs title was launched by Optus Sport in 2020 to tell the often unheralded stories of Europe’s contribution to Australian football and society.


Hosted by David Davutovic and featuring John Didulica - the inspiration behind the series - as well as a long list of Australian sporting personalities, they will explore how football has played a fundamental role in shaping our nation and examine the game struggles to penetrate the mainstream - to the point that the sport continues to get diminished at every turn.


In December 2021, Football Belongs was named the Best Sports Podcast at the 2021 Australian Podcast Awards.



Produced & edited by Lucas Perry, Optus Sport.

Ep. 2 - Multiculturalism: 2006 World Cup, Socceroos v Croatia and the historical tapestry | How one match changed a nation

David Davutovic and John Didulica are joined by Socceroos legend John Aloisi and Australian public policy academic and author Andrew Wear to continue the conversation on multiculturalism. In this episode, the focus is on one particular game: that epic 2006 FIFA World Cup match between Australia and Croatia.


HEAR:

  • The dilemma a large contingent of Croatian-Australians faced
  • How one match showed the power a sporting moment can have on an entire country
  • A precious family connection for John Didulica and his brother's incredible gesture for their grandfather

and

  • John Aloisi's candid recollection about a moment from that day, that very few know about - which counts as one of his great memories of the campaign
