Matildas Head Coach Hesterine de Reus has named a 31 player training squad ahead of the two match series with World No. 4 Brazil in April.

The camp, to be held at the Australian Institute of Sport from 22 – 28 March, will be used by De Reus to prepare for Matildas final hit out against the Brazilians before the 2014 Asian Cup.

“It’s fantastic that we have been able to have a number of camps close together over the past couple of months to prepare ourselves,” said de Reus.

“During this camp we will also focus on how to play against Brazil who are a quality opposition.

“I will also be keeping an eye on various players in relation to their possible selection in the final squad for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup,” concluded de Reus.

Missing from the camp squad Caitlin Foord (Sky Blue FC), Sam Kerr (WNY Flash) and Lisa De Vanna (Boston Breakers) who report for pre-season training with their NWSL clubs.  However, De Vanna will return in early April when the Matildas take on Brazil at the Queensland Sports & Athletics Centre in Brisbane on Sunday 6 & Wednesday 9 April 2014 respectively.

Tickets for the Sunday match are available for purchase now. Access to the Wednesday match is by invitation only with no public ticket sales.

The match between the Westfield Matildas and Brazil that will be played on Sunday 6 April will be broadcast live and exclusive on ABC TV.
