cyprus-cup-2014The Matildas look set to compete in the 2014 Cyprus Cup as further preparation for the 2014 Asian Cup to be held in Vietnam.

The Cyprus Cup is a global invitational tournament held annually in Cyprus since 2008 with the 2014 edition running from 5 - 12 March 2014.

Alongside the Algarve Cup, it is one of the few non-FIFA affiliated tournaments for national teams and over the last couple of years it has grown from 8 nations to 12 nations.

The Cyprus Cup Organising Committee have released the groups with Australia drawn alongside 2012 champions France, The Nederlands and Scotland.

This would be Australia's first involvement in the tournament and, with three guaranteed group matches, ideal preparation for their Asian Cup defence.
