Overview
History of Soccer in Australia
Australia was settled as a British penal colony in 1788 and it's likely that some of the thousands of convicts and soldiers brought basic football skills with them. In a jail without bars and bounded by endless bush, there was plenty of room and opportunity for a kick around. Transportation finished in 1840 in NSW but the British continued to dominate culturally for another 100 years or more. It's fair to assume that people were kicking a round ball on the Australian goldfields in the 1850s. However that was also when rugby was catching on in the northern colonies and Australian Rules was invented in the south. Association football was formalised in England in 1863, but by the time the first recorded soccer match in Australia was played in Sydney in 1880 (between the Wanderers and the Ring's School), the jig was up. Successive waves of European migrants brought on-field finesse to the traditionally roughhouse British form of soccer, but they also ingrained it as a minority sport in the Anglo Australian sporting culture. Even by the first interstate match between Victoria and NSW in 1883, the southern media compared it unfavourably to Aussie Rules.By Ricky Onsman
