Gallery: Regional Australia turned green and gold for World Cup

As the FIFA Women's World Cup comes to an end, we looked back on all the best moment captured by ACM's regional photographers.

Canberrans crammed into Garema Place to watch the Matildas face France in the quarter final. It was a similar scene at Worth Place in Newcastle and at live sites across the Illawarra for the semi-final match.

Students in schools across the country dressed up in their best green and gold on game days, including those at Assumption School in Bathurst and Riverside Primary School in Launceston.
