🇦🇺 YOUNG AUSTRALIAN ATHLETES FACE A $6,000 BILL TO COMPETE FOR THEIR COUNTRY
Representing your nation at a World Championship is a dream for many young athletes.
For Australia's U20 team, that dream reportedly comes with a price tag of around $6,000 per athlete to cover travel, accommodation, meals, transport, and competition expenses.
While competing against the world's best should be the focus, many athletes and families are also forced to spend months fundraising and seeking financial support just to make the trip possible.
It's sparked an important debate: should junior athletes have to pay thousands of dollars to wear their country's colors on the world stage? 🤔
