“This is an important day for me, the LGBTI + community and Adelaide United” Josh Cavallo is said to be the only active and openly gay player in one of the world’s largest men’s football leagues. “Adelaide United is an incredibly inclusive environment and it’s like a big family. They have been very supportive of me since I came to Adelaide and I can not be proud of organizing the Club and the Pride Cup.” Women’s team captain Isabel Hodgson hopes the game will help include the champion: “I hope this game will have an impact on local clubs and make the dressing room culture more welcoming and inclusive across the country.”
