About the Host
Alex Chisholm
Host
After years of reading through Aussies Abroad articles and tuning into podcasts and weekly football shows, Alex noticed a gap - there was no dedicated show or podcast focused solely on our Australian footballers playing overseas. He set out to change that with The Aussie Football Passport - a podcast committed to covering Aussie men and women building their club careers abroad, all with the ultimate aim of pushing toward national team selection at youth or senior level.
When Alex isn't recording, he's usually buried in reading about football (and occasionally), tracking the next big thing in Aussie football, or debating the national team's future over a strong coffee (or beer, depending on the time of day) in Brisbane.
