Sam Kerr has retained her captaincy of the Matildas following a meeting with the Football Australia board concerning a recent court case in which she was found not guilty. Kerr expressed regret over the events, acknowledging the impact on her family and fans. The board concluded that no further action was needed against her. Football Australia chairman emphasized that this incident should not overshadow Kerr's significant contributions to football over the past 15 years, as she joins the Matildas training camp for her rehabilitation.
I want to express my sincere regret for how events unfolded... I recognise that leadership means being mindful of our actions both on and off the pitch.
This one incident should not offset the incredible contributions she has made, both publicly and privately, on and off the field -- for more than 15 years.
