Across the squad, there is a strong base of players with meaningful A-League Women match and training exposure. This supports our focus on building on our team identity, where players can perform and compete at the required level. Supported by the development of the players across the cycle and previous activities, the group is match ready and equipped for the demands of tournament football.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile we have some key players unavailable through injury and non-release, this has created an opportunity to expose a group who will form an important part of the next U20 cycle. Thirteen players in this squad remain age eligible, which is a positive for both this tournament and ongoing development within the Matilda’s ecosystem. It allows them to test themselves early, showcase their strengths, and gain valuable experience against a range of teams and playing styles.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat really stands out about this group and excites me, is the variety of attacking strengths, their ability to execute a fluid style of play, strong competitive mindset, and a clear commitment to a team first environment. We have belief in what this squad can deliver, and we are focused on leaving a mark on the tournament through our style, intent and collective belief.\u201d<\/p>\n The AFC U-20 Women\u2019s Asian Cup Thailand 2026\u2122 will take place from 1 – 18 April 2026 and serve as the qualification tournament for the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup Poland 2026\u2122 from 5 – 27 September 2026.<\/p>\n How to Watch\u00a0the U20 Women’s Asian Cup on 10 PlayWatch + Stream Free On 10<\/p>\n You can stream live and On-Demand events on 10 on a variety of different platforms.<\/p>\n This list will continue to grow so watch this space!
