Footballer Josh Cavallo has accused his former club, Adelaide United, of homophobia, alleging that his sexuality impacted his playing opportunities and led to his departure. Cavallo, who made history as one of the world's first openly gay top-flight male footballers, claims decisions were made based on his identity rather than performance. Adelaide United has strongly denied these allegations, stating all on-field decisions are based solely on footballing grounds and that the club is committed to inclusivity.
