Football Belongs: Australia's Football Identity, by Optus Sport
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. 3 - Legend of ANZAC: Australia's 1967 tour of Saigon | Why football gets sidelined during ANZAC commemorations

The Legend of ANZAC sits in the awareness of most Australians. But why is it that football seems to be left behind in the conversation, when the game has such a rich history with the ANZAC spirit?


John Didulica and David Davutovic are joined by Socceroos legend Ray Baartz and Victoria University academic and author Ian Syson to discuss:

  • The Socceroos' 3-2 win over South Korea in the final of the 1967 National Day Tournament in Vietnam - Australia's first ever international football trophy
  • How the 1915 landing at Gallipoli created a national ritual and identity
  • The commercialisation of the ANZAC spirit, and how it has seen football relegated in celebrations
