AIF Matches

Perhaps counterintuitively, World War One was the reason hundreds of games of Association football were played by Australian troops (mainly against other Australian teams), games that would not have been playedif not for the conflict. Of course the war also prevented many games occurring domestically so maybe we simply exported some of our domestic games to the war-ravaged fields of Europe and kept the ledger balanced.

The bulk of the games occurred on the Western Front, usually between battalions or companies within battalions. After the Armistice the AIF organised a series of competitive matches all the way up to divisional level. Sadly (or not) the finals were not played due to demobilisation.

Matches were played in Egypt and Gallipoli and post-evacuation Lemnos. The image at the head of this article is of Australian troops playing the team of HMS Hunter on Lemnos.

Soccer was played by Australian troops at various points around the world. Games in Rabaul, early in the war and games in South Africa as troops ships returned to Australia for example. Games were played in England in which AIF teams fared very well against UK opponents.

Significant also are the many games played in Australia because of the war, whether as patriotic fundraisers or as part of normal unit activities, the celebratory games after the war, not to mention games played in Australia between German POW teams.

Paradoxically the war broke soccer but also gave it resources of growth.

What follows is an extensive table with data drawn from many sources, especially the War Memorial. It is quite unfinished but is presented here to give readers a sense of scope. Scroll through and marvel at the number and variety of games, while remebering there are hundreds more to be found. It will be completed and tidied in months to come.
