The 2000–01 season was the 32nd season of national competitive association football in Australia and 118th overall. From July 2000 to June 2001, it was a highly active period for Australian Soccer. The Socceroos participated in their second FIFA Confederations Cup, defying expectations yet again by finishing third, after finishing runners-up in the 1997 edition. They also broke several international records during World Cup Qualification in beating Tonga and America Samoa 22–0 and 31–0 respectively.[1] The Matildas competed in the 2000 Olympic Games. Domestically, Wollongong Wolves won their second consecutive and overall National Soccer League grand final,[2] in addition to winning the 2001 Oceania Club Championship[3] and the NSW Sapphires were unbeaten in the Women's National Soccer League, with the grand final being won by the Canberra Eclipse.[4]
