Mustangs FC - Watch on iView

October 11 was International Day of the Girl, and ABC ME kicked off the celebrations with the world premiere of new live-action drama series, Mustangs FC!

The 13 x 30 min series by Matchbox Pictures follows the story of Marnie and her best friend Liv, as they abandon the sidelines to start their football club’s first all-girls’ team, The Mustangs. Full episodes, character profiles and series extras are now available to watch on ABC iView.

The ACTF Education team is excited to be producing curriculum-aligned education support materials for the Mustangs FC series. These resources will include topics and themes related to Health and Physical Education – such as ethical behaviour in sports, bullying behaviours and body image – and will be available to teachers in early 2018.
