Age Is Just a Number in Football | Brisbane News
Description
Australia is hosting the first-ever over-seventy world cup this October, with a brand-new over-eighty category—bringing teams from the US, Wales, England, Germany, and Japan to Cleveland. At 83, David Mudge, holder of the Guinness World Record for oldest full 90-minute match, aims to break his own record despite cataract surgery and hernia recovery. Tony Mott, 70, legendary rock photographer turned goalkeeper, brings his fearless spirit from behind the lens to the pitch, despite a history of broken bones. Organized by the passionate but unsupported Oldyroos, the event battles insurance hurdles and official indifference—but the players prove age is just a number, driven by love for the game, camaraderie, and fitness.
