About Us

At the height of the magical Matilda’s 2023 World Cup campaign, our three founders - friends Xanthe, Eliza and Amy - caught up over dinner in Tamworth. We were all swept up in Tillies fever, along with the rest of Australia, having watched the previous few matches on the edge of our seats. Before this moment in time we ran the full gamut from never having watched a match before the World Cup through to being a longtime fan. Across the World Cup we’d learned about the players personalities, their stories, families, skills and experience - we were hooked!

 

We talked about what incredible role models this team is for girls everywhere and what an amazing feeling it was to see the hype there was for them around the country. Amy’s Mum had invited her granddaughters out to watch the match a couple of days before - they phoned her as the game went into a shoot out and the young girls literally stood in the lounge room screaming and kicking along with every Tillies shot (the first game they’d ever watched!).

 

Xanthe wanted to include her daughters, Ruby (3) and Bronte (1), in the excitement and introduce them to this incredible team. She went to buy them a ✨ pretty ✨ soccer ball but couldn’t find anything the girls would like.

 

So - here we are, Glitter Sports.

 

We know the accessories are just as important as the equipment - because your soccer ball and braids should definitely coordinate with your princess dress.

 

This venture is for Ruby and Bronte, our nieces and nephews, cousins and friends - with a healthy dose of sparkle, we hope to capture some of the magic of this moment, every time you play.
