Sam Kerr says A-League must find way to bring Matildas back, pay more

Sam Kerr, captain of the Australian women's national soccer team (Matildas), discusses her decision to continue her career in the United States' National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) rather than returning to the A-League Women (ALW) in Australia. Kerr highlights the lack of financial incentives and professional opportunities in the ALW, stating that many Matildas players must move abroad to advance their careers. She emphasizes that the ALW could attract top talent if it received greater investment and improved its standing compared to international leagues. Kerr reflects on the past success of the W-League (now ALW) when it attracted elite players from around the world, suggesting that the league needs more resources and time to reach a comparable level.
