Anti-racism campaigners are demanding public apologies from South Melbourne, Melbourne Victory and Football Australia after fans booed the Welcome to Country before Saturday night's Australia Cup final. Wurundjeri elder Uncle Colin Hunter Jr was delivering the ceremony at AAMI Park when boos rang out from sections of the crowd ahead of the all-Melbourne showdown. The ugly scenes overshadowed one of the greatest nights in Australian domestic football history, with South Melbourne becoming the first NPL club to lift the Australia Cup.
