Georgia Beikoff

 

Georgia Beikoff took up sport when she was a child as therapy for her Cerebral Palsy diagnosis. Soon, she was identified as an emerging star in cricket and athletics, and as a teenager would become a track and field Paralympics medallist. 

But football was always Georgia’s true love, and just before the covid pandemic, she became one of the first athletes identified to be part of the Para Matildas - Australia’s football side for females with CP, symptoms of stroke or acquired brain injury.

A leader at the Para Matildas and Golden Boot winner at the inaugural IFCPF World Cup in 2022, Georgia shares about her journey from a kid in Newcastle to Paralympic and Football medallist.
