Several key player movements have been confirmed ahead of the 2026-27 Ninja A-League Women season in Australia.

Sydney FC has re-signed Panama international Riley Cohn. Cohn, who won the Golden Boot last season, returns to the club after previously being expected to depart during the off-season. Head Coach James Slaveski expressed enthusiasm for her return, noting her ability to create opportunities and score goals.
