To celebrate the first ever FIFA Women's World Cup being held here in Australia/Aotearoa, the R.SPORT team has collaborated with Australian National team player Alex Chidiac to co-design a one of a kind football jersey that encapsulates Alex’s unique football journey so far and her selection in the Australian National squad.

The jerseys will be available to pre-order between August 4th - 18th, with all profits to be donated to The Big Issue's Community Street Soccer Program.

The money raised will go towards helping support The Community Street Soccer Program, which operates nationally across 25 sites around Australia with both mixed and Women’s only programs.

Alex is the 195th player to represent the Australian Women’s National team, debuting in 2015 as a sixteen year old against New Zealand. Born in Sydney, Alex and her family relocated to Adelaide soon after, where she spent her childhood.

Alex’s youth football started at the Croydon Kings, where she played on an all boys team before joining Football South Australia’s National Training Centre program and starring in the state’s Premier League competition with Adelaide City.

Time spent with Adelaide United and Melbourne City at a young age impressed overseas scouts, with the midfielder making the move to Spanish side Atletico Madrid, becoming the first Australian to play in Liga F.

Since 2014 Alex has played all across the globe, at clubs including Adelaide United (AUS), Melbourne City (AUS), Atletico Madrid (ESP), JEF United Chiba (JPN), Melbourne Victory (AUS) and Racing Louisville (USA).

After the 2021/2022 season, Alex earned her first call-up to the national team since 2020, playing in Australia’s two-game series against New Zealand and describing the moment as almost a second debut. She then went on to enjoy a stellar 2022/2023 season with Melbourne Victory, securing the A League’s highest honour, the prestigious Julie Dolan Medal.

On the pitch Alex is a tough, skillful, goal scoring midfielder. Off the pitch she has resilience and wisdom beyond her years. A caring and deep thinking individual who values community and the importance of giving back, a trait passed down from her late grandmother. These values guided her to the Women's Street Soccer Program run by The Big Issue, where she has now volunteered for a number of years.

[JERSEY BACK STORY]

The design includes elements which have deeply sentimental meanings to Alex and her football story.

MUMA the Penguin (represented in the MUMA FC crest) is a soft toy penguin that Alex’s parents gifted her when she was born. When Alex started travelling to tournaments at a young age Muma Penguin came with her wherever she went, and still does to this day. Anyone who knows Alex also knows who Muma is.

The teapot patch on the right arm of the jersey represents Alex’s love for tea, which was introduced to her at a young age by her Grandma. It quickly became her favourite drink. Alex has fond memories of waking up at 3am with her Grandma to watch premier league and champions league games always with a tea in hand. Alex has 2 - 3 cups of tea everyday, especially before training and games. She brings her own tea bags on planes, to away trips, national team camps - basically everywhere she goes she’ll have an emergency stash of tea. Alex describes tea and football being a work of art that blends perfectly together.

Alex is the 195th player to represent the Australian Women’s National team, which is included inside on the teapot.

The Lego square represented as the watermark background on the jersey is the same piece of lego that Alex has tattooed on her ankle. Alex has been obsessed with Lego since she can remember. As she got older her love for lego only grew. The Lego detail has a two fold meaning, also representing the phrase ‘one brick at a time’ which Alex constantly tries to live by.

‘Accept & Move’ which is embroidered on the back neck of the jersey has been a staple value over the course of Alex’s career, helping to build her resilience on and off the pitch when things haven’t always gone her way.
