Cooper posed nude with some of her teammates in the controversial "The Matildas: the new fashion in football: 2000 Olympic year calendar" in an effort to increase visibility of the team and raise money for their Olympic Games preparation.[4][5] A royalty from the sale of each calendar was used to support the team's 2000 Summer Olympic Games preparation.[6]
