managing the matildas: media + pr manager ann odong

the [female] athlete project

The Tillies are the Australian football team taking the country and the world by storm.

But behind every great football team, there’s an amazing team of experts working behind the scenes, incredible women who help to manage the Matildas.

On today’s episode, we meet Ann Odong, the Media and PR Manager for the Matildas.

Ann is responsible for making sure the fans get access to the players and get to learn about their lives. But she’s also equally responsible for looking after the players, and remembering that sometimes they too need a break from the media.

At an incredible home World Cup, Ann and the media team worked behind the scenes to make sure the Tillies captured hearts right around the world.

But Ann is also a huge advocate for stepping into the foreground to be a visible role model for young women and girls and is the inspiration behind this series.

This episode proves that there are so many roles and opportunities for passionate sportswomen both on and off the field, we hope you enjoy the final episode of this mini series: managing the Matildas.
