Catley
FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP
“Playing in a home World Cup is really goosebumps stuff”
To play in a World Cup on home soil is surely the stuff of childhood backyard fantasies.
But for Steph Catley and her fellow Matildas that dream is about to become reality after Australia and New Zealand were recently named as hosts of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
A star of the exciting attack-minded Australian team, the left-sided overlapping full-back is likely to be front and centre when the Aussies welcome the world in 2023
Catley recalls her childhood when female football role-models were close to non-existent. On the back of exponential growth for the Women’s World Cup, the 26-year-old says a new generation of children will have the opportunity to be enthused by the world’s best.
The Matildas’ star also tells FIFA.com about her excitement when the host was announced, what it will mean for the local game and the thought process behind her recent move to English giants Arsenal.

Tostao
MEXICO 1970
“I cried through the last 20 minutes of the Final”
Tostao was in his pomp as the FIFA World Cup Mexico™ approached, having finished as the leading marksman, with ten goals in six games, in South American qualifying.
But in the blink of an eye, he freefell from being the golden boy of Brazilian football to languishing on a Houston, Texas operating table with his hopes of playing in Mexico seemingly blinded.
‘The Little Coin’ made a miraculous recovery from a detached retina to play at that tournament. And, boy, did he play as Brazil conquered and wowed the world.
Fifty years on from their thrilling 4-1 victory over Italy in the Azteca, Tostao spoke to FIFA.com about making it to Mexico 1970 against all odds, operating in a position he had never played in in his career, why he felt he had to attempt an audacious nutmeg on Bobby Moore and the shooting of Rivellino.
He also told us about being overcome by emotion during the Final, whether ‘The Beautiful Team’ is the best national side in history, and why Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be compared to Pele.

ZAGALLO
FIFA World Cup
“Brazil job was everything I wanted”
If Pele is the Humphrey Bogart, and Rinus Michels the Martin Scorsese, then Mario Zagallo is football’s Clint Eastwood – a true virtuoso at both performing and directing.
The trailblazing winger hadn’t kicked a ball for his country one month before Sweden 1958 began, but somehow got Vicente Feola to denounce the age-old, flair-dependent Brazilian script and started every game, before helping Seleção retain gold Chile 1962.
Zagallo was then the filmmaker as his all-star crew made cinematic gold at Mexico 1970.
The ‘Old Wolf’ nevertheless hunted more. If Katharine Hepburn could become the only person to touch an Oscar four times, he could do the same with football’s most prestigious prize. He duly lifted the FIFA World Cup™ for a still-record fourth time as Carlos Alberto Parreira’s insightful assistant at USA 1994.
On the 50th anniversary of the Azetca apogee of ‘The Beautiful Team’, the 88-year-old gentleman chatted to FIFA.com about that tournament, his playing days and more.
