Nike And Football Australia Release The CommBank Matildas Goalkeeper Jersey
Tue, Feb 27.24
For the first time ever, an Australian goalkeeper jersey is available for the general football-loving public to buy. A jersey immortalised by THAT Canada game; one we’ll never forget. 4-0, do-or-die stuff, with Mackenzie Arnold achieving a stunning clean sheet that ensured our Cup dreams and the ride of a lifetime went on and on.
Football jersey culture has gone to incredible new heights in the last couple of years, but one thing that's never been possible is stepping out in your favourite goalkeeper jersey. That's all changed now, and the demand for these is, unsurprisingly, through the roof.
“When I was a young athlete, the idea that I could make a living as a goalkeeper never really crossed my mind. It’s a testament to how far our game has come that the next generation of keepers will now see fans wearing our jerseys in the stands." - Mackenzie Arnold, Nike athlete and CommBank Matildas’ Goalkeeper.
With the Matildas back in town in Melbourne to face Uzbekistan, we'll be running an in-store launch in our Melbourne store on Wednesday (28/2/24), with any remaining stock going online from 6 pm.
“In the past two decades, we’ve seen football in Australia grow to incredible heights thanks to the power and pride of our National teams, like the Matildas. Last year’s tournament saw fandom for our goalkeepers take on a new energy which we loved to see. We are so proud of Mackenzie Arnold’s performances on and off the pitch. We also continue to be inspired by the broader goalkeeper squad, including Teagan Micah, Lydia Williams, and Jada Mathyssen-Whyman. With this release, our first-ever replica goalkeeper jersey for an Australian football team, we look forward to seeing Aussie fans continue to show their support for the entire Matildas’ squad in another huge year for sport." - Ash Reade, Nike Pacific Vice President, and General Manager.
