Moya Dodd's playing career spanned almost two decades with the South Australian state team, and with the Matildas from the mid-1980s to mid-90s, including as vice-captain.
Since retiring as a player, Dodd has been a fearless advocate for gender equality in football and campaigning for women to have their voices heard at decision-making levels in the game.
Globally, she has successfully campaigned to give hundreds of millions of girls access to the game with the overturning of the hijab ban and campaigned to have women received at the FIFA Executive Committee for the first time.
Dodd played in FIFA’s first ever women’s tournament in 1988 (pictured above), the 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament saw Australia play three group stage games, defeating Brazil and Thailand to progress to the quarter-finals, being knocked out by the hosts China in the tournament.
