The footballer came out and went down in history

Adelaide United midfielder Joshua Cavallo in Twitter reported his non-traditional sexual orientation.

The footballer said he was happy to come out, as this would help other players not to be afraid of their sexuality. “As a child, I was ashamed that I would never be able to do what I loved. I had to learn to hide my feelings in order to fit the image of a football player. I want other players in a similar situation to feel that they are not alone, ”said the Australian.

Sky Sports also noted that Cavallo made history. He is the only openly gay professional player in the major leagues to date.

Cavallo, 21, has been playing for Adelaide since February this year. He played 19 matches with the team and gave one assist. The Transfermarkt portal estimates its cost at 350 thousand euros.
