Play On Exhibition – Celebrating Womens Football
Coinciding with the Women’s World Cup being played right here in Australia and New Zealand, the University of Canberra and local Canberrans have organised the Play On Exhibition – Celebrating Womens Football From Grassroots to Glory.
The exhibition includes silverware, footage, stories and player jerseys, to take you on a discovery of the women who came before today’s multi-champion Matildas and their local community stories and beginnings.
The exhibition is held at the University of Canberra from the 3rd of July until the 31st of August. You can check it out for free during the week via semi-guided tours or casually.
“This is a most excellent exhibition! The opening evening was very interesting with lots of key speakers passing on their knowledge and history of the women’s game in Canberra. It’s on for a whole month and I recommend a visit. It’s Boss!”
