This campaign is set to launch in conjunction with the Matildas’ opening match at the Olympics on 25 July.

We believe sport promotes diversity, supports mental and physical health, and fosters a sense of unity and belonging. Through this partnership with Football Australia, we hope to inspire future generations of footballers.”
Football Australia CEO James Johnson said: “We are delighted to welcome Allianz to the growing Football Australia family. Their commitment to inclusivity and community empowerment mirrors our own values and vision for football in Australia.

With the expected increase in visitors, Allianz Partners’ medical teams will collaborate with public services and the organising committee to manage the potential impact on the French healthcare system and offer optimal patient care.
