Synopsis | Kicking Goals (2024)
Representing the nation is an honour many Australians dream of but few achieve. For those lucky enough to experience it, there’s no better feeling. It’s especially so when it comes to sport, because wearing the green and gold often means athletes also become celebrities. But there’s a national team of very inspirational Aussies that you probably wouldn’t know. They’re the “Street Socceroos”, eight homeless Australians who defied the odds and did us proud at the so-called Homeless World Cup. It’s a 38-country football competition proving that even those who are doing it the toughest, can still kick life-changing goals.
