	Football in Australia - Stories from Australia's Culture and Recreation Portal
		Football in Australia has traditionally been a male sport, but starting in the late twentieth century women began playing from a grassroots level to the highest levels of the game.
		The football code an Australian plays or follows is often dictated by where they live, their cultural heritage, or by the code they were taught at school.
		The professional football season usually stretches from March to September, when fans crowd stadiums in their team colours to cheer and soak up the atmosphere of the game.

		But it is Champions League football that the club's players, supporters and accountants really crave and that means the premier league has to be the number one priority.
