ParaMatildas head coach Kelly Stirton has named a 14-player squad for the team’s next training camp this weekend in Sydney.

The players selected contain regular faces such as Georgia Biekoff, Tahlia Blanshard, Lainee Harrison, and Eloise Northam, but also exciting young guns Lilah Flood (aged 14), Rebecca Jones, and Trinity McPhee who are all aiming to gain their first ParaMatildas cap in the coming months.

The world number one ranked ParaMatildas will be looking to follow up their runners-up spot at the last World Cup and their recent Asia Cup win with more success in the upcoming World Cup later this year.
