marieclaireau | Our 2023 Champion Of The Year is… The Matildas! The support for The Matildas at this years’ FIFA World Cup highlighted the unique power of the game to bring together a nation and brought a renewed focus on the gender pay gap for women’s sport. While Australia ultimately finished a very respectable fourth (the best result by any Australian football team in a World Cup) their impact on the nation was epic. Not only did they smash attendance records and TV audience figures, they also shifted the dial on outdated attitudes about women’s sport. Representing The Matildas for marie claire’s Women Of The Year Awards, Mary Fowler reflects on what her team achieved: “It’s hard to put into words the legacy we’ve left behind. I think it’s really special that we can get recognised as a team for the work we did and the journey we’ve had together.”

marieclaireau | Our 2023 Icon Of The Year is… Sam Kerr! Not many people could be dubbed an icon before 30, but the Matildas’ captain, Sam Kerr, is not your average 30-year-old. The talented forward, who plays for Chelsea in the UK as well as leading the Australian women’s team, has been one of the driving forces that brought the Tillies not only to where they are today in terms of football, but also into the collective hearts of the nation during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. “Playing to packed stadiums around the country, in front of family and friends, while having the whole country support and get behind us was the highlight of 2023 for me,” Kerr tells marie claire Australia. “It was a surreal time and something I will remember for the rest of my life.”
