Australia Junior Matildas FIFA U-17 World Cup preparation

Overview

The Australian Junior Matildas are preparing for their first-ever appearance in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco, having qualified via a fourth-place finish at the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup.

In late August, the team convened for a final domestic training camp with a 28-player roster selected by Head Coach Michael Cooper to finalize the squad. By late September, the official 21-player roster was announced, featuring a leadership group including Willa Pearson, Maeve Nicholas, Annabelle Croll, and Rubi Sullivan. Pearson was highlighted as a “once in 30 years” phenomenon.

Australia is placed in Group F and is scheduled to compete against Chile, Spain, and Mexico during the tournament, which runs from October 17 to November 7.
