Visa tackles trend of girls dropping out of sport
New research reveals age 15 is Australia’s peak age for girls dropping out of sport, with 60% of girls saying they don’t currently have a female sports star they look up to. Visa PlayOn – an initiative by Visa and Year13 - highlights the many long-term physical, mental and community benefits, and makes role models more visible and accessible to encourage young girls to stay in sport.

“There’s nothing better than representing your country and to have an opportunity to do so in Australia, in front of family, friends and fans, is even more motivation.
Visa has been a significant supporter of not just my own sporting journey, but so many other female athletes across the world, on and off the pitch, and there is already a lot of anticipation around this major moment in women’s football."
Ellie Carpenter
Australian Footballer & National Team Defender
