NSW Football Legacy Fund
The NSW Football Legacy Fund was part of the NSW government’s $10 million NSW Football Legacy Program that supported the construction of new and upgraded facilities, participation initiatives, high performance, leadership and development programs as well as tourism and international engagement as a direct result of NSW hosting games at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023TM.
