Sarah Walsh, managing director of Football Federation Australia for the Australian Football Federation, said the move was an attempt to inspire a new generation of women footballers.

"It may seem like a small gesture, but it will not only encourage more girls to pursue their sporting dreams, but will also show little boys that women have an equal place on the sports field."
