The fresh-faced squad features nine players yet to make their W-League debuts, which will make the tournament very interesting viewing for those talent-spotters among us seeking the W-League's next big thing.

A top three finish will secure qualification for the FIFA U/20 World Cup, with Australia set to face Thailand, North Korea and Vietnam in Group A.

“I am looking forward to getting this group of players into camp in early October as we ramp up our preparations for the forthcoming AFC U-19 Women’s Championship,” Blayney said. 

“While I am fortunate to work with many players in the squad with the Future Matildas program in Sydney, there are numerous players who will be joining us from other clubs and programs, so I am excited to see how all the players and staff gel together.”
