Description

Matildas soccer star Katrina Gorry has always known she wanted to start a family but once upon a time starting a family and playing elite sport were completely exclusive of each other. Not today. Katrina talks us through her decision to undergo IVF to start a family, the plan to play in the 2023 FIFA World Cup, and her rise to representing Australia 78 times. 

Having played her last game back in January at 11 weeks pregnant, Katrina says scoring a long range goal will be cherished forever, sharing in a special moment with her teammates.

Whilst Katrina is an incredible role model for young girls wanting a career in women's football, she’s also paving the way for a new era of elite female athletes wanting to start a family in the peak of their career.
