Matildas star Sam Kerr appeared in a London court this morning charged with the racially aggravated harassment of a police officer.

The Australian team captain and Chelsea forward is one of the top women’s soccer players in the world and is Australia’s all-time leading scorer.

The 31-year-old Kerr, who appeared at Kingston Crown Court, is charged with causing a police officer harassment, alarm or distress under the UK’s Public Order Act during an incident in Twickenham in south-west London on January 30, 2023.

Kerr was not charged until 2024.

She pleaded not guilty in March last year.

Kerr’s trial is scheduled to take place on February 3.

The football star was forced to miss the Olympics last year with an ACL injury.

She and her partner, US footballer and West Ham player Kristie Mewis, are expecting a child together this year.
