Adelaide United midfielder Josh Cavallo proposed to his partner at Coopers Stadium, thanking the club for their support since he came out as gay in 2021. The 24-year-old, the only openly gay male pro footballer in Australia's top-flight, expressed gratitude for Adelaide United providing a safe space. Sharing the moment on social media, Cavallo credited the club for encouraging him to live authentically. His coming out inspired Blackpool's Jake Daniels in 2022 and Cagliari's Jakub Jankto in 2023. Cavallo's engagement marks a significant milestone in the journey towards LGBTQ+ acceptance in professional football.
