Make London Matildas home away from home, says Montemurro – The World Game
Joe Montemurro has urged Football Federation Australia to turn London into the Matildas’ adopted home en route to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Harking back to a period between 2003 and 2018 when the Socceroos played 14 times in the English capital, the Arsenal Women coach claims that with 22 Matildas scattered across Europe it makes logistical and logical sense to stage camps and friendlies there in the build-up to the looming Trans-Tasman showpiece.
Setting up shop in London would also save cash-strapped FFA a small fortune with return business class tickets for a squad of 20-plus players likely to cost around $125,000.
