Across the season, Matildas: The World at Our Feet will pull back the curtain to see players as they face their most gruelling challenge yet - this year’s World Cup on their home soil.

However, this series isn’t just your regular sports docuseries. Instead, it touches upon gender inequality and sexism still prevalent in sport and how the Matildas triumph despite this.

Sam Kerr, Captain of the Matildas, said of the series: “It’s been an incredible experience sharing our journeys with Disney+, both on the field and off, and I can’t wait for the world to see our true love, dedication and passion for the game and our country.”

But don’t just take Kerr’s word for it.

ESPN’s Stephanie Brantz said the show is ‘a must-watch for football fans and sports enthusiasts alike’.
