Playing football has always been a passion of mine. Yet, time and time again, I see women denied the same opportunities, resources, and facilities as men in the sport. I'm especially frustrated that the Brisbane Roar FC women's team is not afforded the chance to showcase their talent at Suncorp Stadium, a privilege regularly given to the men's team.

Suncorp Stadium is an iconic venue in Brisbane, Queensland, known for its thrilling atmosphere and professional-grade facilities. Providing the women's team, who are equally deserving and talented as their male counterparts, the opportunity to play in such a setting is a step towards achieving true equality in sports.

It's not just about the venue; it's about recognising the hard work and dedication of female athletes who continue to inspire countless individuals. By allowing the Brisbane Roar women's team to play at Suncorp Stadium, we acknowledge their commitment and contribution to the sport. It also encourages more girls and young women in Brisbane and across Australia to pursue their dreams in football, knowing they too can play on the grandest stages.

Statistics show that female participation in football is on the rise globally. According to FIFA, women's football has seen a 33% growth in the last few years. However, the inequality in resources and opportunities remains stark. This campaign seeks to bridge this gap and push for equal treatment of the Brisbane Roar women’s team, thus setting a precedent for gender equality in sports.
