JAKARTA - Football Australia (FA) announced on Monday, February 26, that fans will be able to buy the Australian women's national team goalkeeper uniform worn by Macak Arnold at last year's Women's World Cup.

Arnold became the Best Player in Australia's quarter-final win over France, making a number of important saves at the end of the match and stopping three penalties in a penalty shootout win.

The purple jersey he wore during the tournament was not sold during the Women's World Cup, which led to criticism of Nike producers from fans.

After the tournament, Nike announced that they would make their female team goalkeeper uniform available for purchase by fans, in which the jersey of the British goalkeeper Mary Earps, was released in October.

In a statement on Monday, the FA said that the goalkeeper's jersey would be sold starting from Tuesday, February 27.

"The support we feel from our fans over the past year is truly extraordinary," said Macach Arnold, Australian goalkeeper.

"It means a lot to me that we will enter another big year for our team, and our sport, knowing that our family, our friends, and fans will fully support us, and wear our jerseys with pride," he added.

URs, as Australian women's national team calls, will next face Uzbekistan on Wednesday 28 February in the second leg of the Paris Olympics qualifiers this year. Australia, which won the first leg with a score of 3-0, aims to qualify for their third consecutive Olympics.
