The Young Matildas will travel to Wellington in July to take on New Zealand U-20s in a two-match international friendly series ahead of the U20 World Cup. 

Australia will open the series against the Junior Football Ferns on Thursday 11th July (12.30pm AEST) at Jerry Collins Stadium with the fixture streamed live on Football Australia’s YouTube page and available to watch in Australia. 

Three days later, on Sunday 14th July, the two nations will clash again in a behind-closed-doors match at the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport (NZCIS). 

Head Coach Leah Blayney expressed the importance of securing international matches in preparation for the world championships running from 31st August to 22nd September 2024.

“Securing these two internationals against New Zealand is an important step for the Young Matildas as we set the groundwork for our FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup campaign.  

“With New Zealand fellow qualifiers for the tournament, they will present a test for our players as we continue to evolve and cement the playing style we want to employ in Bogotá. Crucially, it is a fantastic opportunity for us to bring the team together after the conclusion of the A-League season and some important downtime. 

“With less than 10 weeks until we kick off our tournament, we are carefully constructing a training environment and match schedule that will provide the players with the right lead-in for our opening match against Colombia,” Blayney concluded.   

The Young Matildas have been drawn alongside Colombia, Mexico, and Cameroon in Group A at the U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia later this year.

London City Lionesses defender Georgia Brougham pens new contract

London City Lionesses defender Georgia Brougham puts pen to paper for another season with the Championship side.

Ahead of the 2024/25 Barclay’s Women’s Championship season, defender Georgia Brougham has signed a one-year contract extension with London City Lionesses. Her inaugural season at the club began in August 2023 after joining from Women’s Super League side Leicester City.

Brougham made 26 appearances across the board last season, playing a crucial part in City’s defence to help them avoid relegation from the Barclay’s Women’s Championship. Her calmness and collectedness on the ball as well as overall ball-playing ability has earned Brougham the nickname of ‘Rolls Royce defender’.

Brougham’s contributions to the club so far are undoubtedly immense as she was voted London City Lionesses Player’s Player of the season by a landslide amount thanks to her fellow teammates and club staff. The awards didn’t start there though, as she took home the league cup with Manchester City in 2014 before going on to represent Everton, Birmingham City and Leicester City.

In the 2023/24 Barclay’s Women’s Championship season, London City Lionesses placed eighth which is quite a contrast to their third place finish in the season prior. During this period, many new faces were brought into the club; Brougham included. As well as head coach Carolina Morace who was then replaced by Remi Allen in February 2024 who went on to achieve four wins in six.

The competitive fight to stay in the Championship was tough for the side, but the battle never ended and luckily the squad survived the relegation zone. “I’m a winner, it hurt to be where we were in the table last season, and I just want to keep improving. You never stop learning as a player and, with a new manager coming in, it’s important that I’m able to adapt, advance my game, and become an experienced senior player” Brougham commented.

The decision to stay a blue wasn’t a hard decision for the defender. “The clubs vision for the future is incredibly exciting” spoke the 28 year old over her decision to stay. “It was a rebuilding year for us last year, but that experience will spur us on to do better and achieve our ambitions this time.” The season LCL has had was a ride throughout; changing managers and playing a selection of new opponents in the WC, Continental Cup and Adobe Women’s FA Cup.

Director of Football Ronald Thompson spoke highly of the defender: “Georgia Brings a certain level of calmness to the game as a player. She’s one of those players who can defend when it’s frantic and calms the play down when she has the ball.”

“We see Georgia as a vital individual to help us on the journeythat we’re moving forward with. We want players who are good people and Georgia is a good person on and off the pitch.”

NPLW Vic: Markovski magic keeps Bulleen top

By Kieran Yap 26/6/24

Above: Maja Markovski strikes her fourth of the afternoon.

Round 14: Bulleen Lions 6-2 Boroondara Eagles

Maja Markovski scored four goals to keep Bulleen at the top of the table with a 6-2 win at home against the Boroondara Eagles.

The win was an emphatic response from Caitlin Friend’s team after they found themselves in the unfamiliar position of losing twice in a row coming into Round 14.

The home side started emphatically, attacking Boroondara right from kickoff. Jessica Young’s corner kick was turned in by Alana Burn in just the second minute of play. Set pieces have been an area of strength over the past two season for Bulleen and giving them successive attempts at corners so early in the game was always going to spell trouble for Boroondara’s defence.

Markovski scored her first of the afternoon to give The Lions a two goal buffer. A clever turn on the edge of the area put her into space and with Boroondara expecting a cross, the defenders back away for a moment, giving her all the opportunity she needed to produce an excellent finish.

Jessica Young got in on the scoring to make it 3-0. Another Bulleen attack saw the ball ricochet around the 18 yard box before Young drove it through traffic and into the back of the net.

Despite the scoreline, Boroondara remained dangerous. With golden boot leader Gabrielle Hollar and last season’s dominant striker Kurea Okino in attack defenders are kept occupied. That leaves space for players like new recruit Anais Josefski to be left one on one.

A sweeping end to end move began by Anna Liacopoulos ended with Josefski cutting in from the left, accelerating into space and firing her shot into the top corner as almost the last act of the half. It was probably the best goal of a high scoring game, and gave the visitors a much needed lifeline.

Any hope for Boorondara was extinguished by Markovski’s second half performance. She made it 4-1 after her free kick was blocked by the wall, but then followed up with a perfectly struck low drive from 20 yards.

Markovski rose highest from a corner to make it 5-1 from close range soon after and complete her hatrick in the 54th minute.

Boroondara never stopped trying to find a way back into the contest, and responded to that goal almost instantly. Okino’s nod down fell for Hayley Geurts to thrash home a goal from distance. It was spectacular and for a moment, it was hope.

The scoring slowed for the next 30 minutes, although the intent did not. As the clocked ticked down the result seemed secured and Markovski removed any hint of doubt with her fourth of the day.

The mobile centre forward has tall stature, quick feet and knows how to position herself to make fouling her seem hard to avoid and in the 87th minute another clever turn, saw her brought down in the penalty area.

She took the kick herself and left the goalkeeper with no chance of saving it. Four goals to Markovski, all from different sources and Bulleen had put the slight form blip of the past fortnight firmly behind them.

Things are looking increasingly positive for Caitlin Friend’s squad. They already have impressive depth, but added the returning Tiffany Eliadis to the squad for todays match. The Bullen icon and Melbourne Victory cult hero’s return to the Vento Club coincided with Paige Zois missing this game through injury.

Bulleen are top of the ladder and still building toward their best. Next up will be another firm test. A resurgent South Melbourne who are coming off a 5-1 win against Alamein.

Boroondara’s fixture is no easier. They will need to respond to this loss against the second placed Essendon Royals, who boast former Eagle Emily Sutcliffe among their impressive and in-form squad.

NPLW Vic: Cooper hatrick sinks Calder United

By Joe Rosedon 25/6/24

Above: Brunswick Juventus celebrate Emily Keppens’ goal.

Round 14: Brunswick Juventus 5 Calder United FC 0

An inspired Nicole Cooper performance gave Brunswick Juventus a critical 5-0 win against relegation rivals Calder United. A hattrick from Cooper plus goals from Emilie Keppens and Holly Boldiston contributed to the thrashing of Caulder United 

After an understandably nervy opening 15 minutes, Akeisha Sandhu edge of the box volley for Calder was the first instance of a goal scoring opportunity but her effort wasskewed wide.

Brunswick answered back. Roise Wild powered forward from the back, crossed to the back post for Alyssa Smith.  Smith gently rolled the ball to Melindaj Barbieri who fired over. 

Calder should really have opened the scoring soon after. A hopeful ball over the top dropped kindly for Oliva Anderson but her tame attempt could only find the grateful hands of Maggie Byrne in the Brunswick goal. 

They would rue this miss and it was Cooper who would punish them. After exchanging a one-two, Cooper drove into the box, got the bobbling ball under control and with a composed finish, gave Brunswick the lead. 

Cooper almost got her second instantly, capitalising on a sloppy back pass but could not convert past Natalie Picak, her attempt straight at the goalkeeper 

At the start of the second half, Calder would not be so lucky the second time around . A launched ball from Wilde left Picak in a state of indecision between committing to coming for the ball or hanging back. Cooper was quick to punish, getting to the ball first and poking home to double the lead of the home side. 

Two then became three, Cooper completing her hattrick. Cathrine Forte-Oddo’s deft flick on set Cooper away. Her pace was too much for the Caulder defence to handle, racing into the box. Her shot did get a touch from Piack but on its way through but Cooper did enough to get her third goal of the game.

Cooper, who had the game of her dreams, made the fourth for Brunswick. Cooper was slipped into the left-hand channel and looked up to see Keppens in space in the box. Cooper squared it and Keppens did the rest, slotting home to make it 4-0 and grabbing her first goal of the season.

Brunswick rounded off the scoring from a harshly given penalty.  Adelyn Ayton looked to have won the ball from Boldiston with a last-ditch tackle however the referee disagreed, pointing to the spot.  Boldiston did the honoursherself, squeezing the ball underneath Piack to complete the rout.

This victory has moved Brunswick out of the relegation zone for the first time since the opening few weeks of the season whilst Caulder now find themselves bottom of the table, two points behind Bentleigh Greens in 11th place. 

Both teams next games in the league are against fellow strugglers Bentleigh. Brunswick face them at home first next weekend. 

It will then be Caulder’s turn the weekend after and will be desperate for any points possible.

Hayley Raso departs Real Madrid

By Genevieve Henry (23/6/24).

Real Madrid have announced the departure of Hayley Raso after just one year with the club. The 29-year old winger signed for the club last July, becoming the first Australian, male or female, to do so. 

During her time in Real Madrid colours, Raso played in 28 matches, but only started 10 of them. She still managed to make her impact, with 4 goals and 2 assists. She was also voted MVP in a few matches, making a name for herself not only in attack with goals, but all over the pitch with her important defensive contributions and build-up play.

Although Las Blancas finished second in Liga F, there is still much ground to be made up against league and European champions Barcelona. Many believed Raso would be a valuable acquisition for the side to do so, but she was ultimately not given the tools to succeed.

In a post on her Instagram, Raso thanked the club, her teammates, the staff, and the fans for welcoming her and what an honour it was to play for the Spanish giants.

She followed that up, commenting, “in saying that, I have learnt in my career that football doesn’t always work out the way we plan and due to the limit on foreign players in Spain, it’s time for me to move on to a new adventure.”

Raso is just one of many players departing the club after a season of turmoil and uncertainty. If one looks at Real Madrid’s Instagram, all they’ll see is “Gracias” graphics. Among the other departures are Sofie Svava, Claudia Zornoza, and captain Ivana Andres. Many fans are calling for a change in the club’s leadership after a disappointing season domestically and in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Although Raso is not publicly linked to any clubs at this time, it’s likely she is heading back to England or the United States, both leagues which she spent years in. 

Her pacy, aggressive style was not taken advantage of at Real Madrid, but whichever club she next graces will hopefully know how to use her. After a few years, at Manchester City before Real Madrid, without the desired amount of playing time, Raso will be looking for a club that truly values her.

While she is not seeing the field as much as others in club land, Raso is still an important asset who has been shining for the Matildas despite the circumstances. After the Paris Olympics, Raso will hopefully be headed off to a club that can give her the playing time and resources a player of her calibre deserves.

“I wouldn’t want to do it with any other club.” Princess Ibini signs for a tenth season in Sky Blue

Above: Princess Ibini in action for Sydney FC. Image: Kris Goman for Impetus.

By Genevieve Henry (23/6/24).

In 2015, a 15 year-old Princess Ibini made her first appearance for Sydney FC, full of dreams and excitement. Coming up on 10 years later, she’s made 140 appearances and is set to become the record appearance maker for the Sky Blues. 

“I can’t believe it. It’s amazing, honestly. I wouldn’t want to do it with any other club and I’m just very grateful for this opportunity.”

Ibini has broken a fair few records, and she’s sure to break even more throughout her time in the A-League Women. She’s 15th in appearances, 1st in Grand Final appearances, equal 1st in finals appearances, and fastest player to 100 appearances. With only six more appearances until she overtakes former Sydney captain Teresa Polias’ record, Ibini will also go easily into the top five most capped A-League players of all time. “Teresa Polias was such a staple for the club and still is now. She’s a legend of the club and to overtake her is crazy to me, I can’t even put it into words.”

Ibini’s family moved to Australia from Nigeria a few years before her birth. She grew up in Condell Park in Sydney with her three brothers, the oldest of whom, Bernie, inspired her to start playing football. When Ibini was only 9, her brother signed with the Central Coast Mariners and eventually became a star in the A-League. After a breakout season a few years later with Sydney, he made two appearances with the Socceroos. She’s followed in his footsteps, and still has so much more potential. 

Ibini attended Westfield Sports High School, where some of Australia’s best athletes are made, including Socceroos legends Harry Kewell and Mathew Ryan, and Matildas teammate Ellie Carpenter. When Ibini was 12, former Matildas and Sydney FC coach Alen Stajcic noticed her footballing abilities and invited her to train with Sydney’s squad.

During her first season in Australia’s top flight, she said of her teammates in an interview, “hopefully one day I’ll play for the Matildas too.”

And now she has. Since 2017, she’s been capped 8 times and scored 1 goal. “Playing for the Matildas, scoring my first goal. It’s just been a surreal experience.”

Above: Ibini speaking about her contract extension. Image: Sydney FC.

Sydney has helped so many players become big names, take their game to the next level, and make that step up to the next level. Ibini commented that her success wouldn’t be possible without the club and all the coaches and players that have passed through Sydney throughout her time there. Sydney made Ibini achieve her goals and set many new ones.

Now, she’s that inspiration for the next generation. Although only 24, Ibini is a veteran and legend of Sydney FC and the A-League women. 

“The club has definitely helped me along the way…It’s turned me into the player and the person I am off the field as well.”

And what a player she is. Although the 2033-24 season may have been a disappointing season in goals for Ibini, she’s far more than just a goalscorer. She played a massive role in the build-up play to goals, pressuring the opposition back line and connecting with her teammates. 

Ibini will hope she can get back to her usual proficiency in front of goal this upcoming season. Overall, she has scored 28 goals for the Sky Blues and she surely has many more in her. 

Ante Juric was full of praise for saying, “I know that she will continue to be committed and to work hard and improve, so she can go onto another level in her career, in many ways.”

When asked about her favourite memories in Sky Blue, Ibini said, “there’s been a few; probably scoring a hattrick against (Melbourne) Victory, that was nice; then just winning all the titles with all my best friends.”

Ibini has won three Premierships and three Championships, one of which she captained her side to. Her contributions in each and every campaign have been unmissable, with her goalscoring, assisting, energy, and leadership all being pivotal throughout her 9 seasons so far in Sky Blue.

Although she expressed her dismay at the event that led to her captaincy, Nat Tobin’s horrible injury, Ibini shared her pride to lead her team in such an important season. “The girls made it really easy, I had great support from all the older girls as well. It was an easy ride in the end and we got the job done.” 

Ibini expressed Sydney’s intent to go back-to-back-to-back with the Championship. “That’s the goal with Sydney FC, we always wanna win stuff. We have a strong team– we’re losing a few players, but we always have players signing. Ante does great recruiting, so I know that we will get the job done.”

“You have players like Shay (Hollman), Maddie (Caspers), Indi (Dos Santos), they’re all coming through and doing amazing and I think that’s all credit to the environment we create at Sydney. It’s very competitive but we also have a good culture in the team. It’s like a family and everyone can be themselves and that also helps on the field.”

“Sydney FC always have a target on their back from the beginning. It’s always hard in the end, people always step up against Sydney, but at the end of the day, Sydney always rise to the occasion, whenever our backs are against the wall. We always find a way to win.”

One of the longest serving players in the A-League Women at such a young age, Ibini is etched in Australian footballing history and will surely continue to make her mark. She is a winner through and through. She is irreplaceable for Sydney and one of the most important players in the league. Princess Ibini is not only Sydney FC, but A-League royalty.

FC Barcelona sign Ellie Roebuck

European Championship winner Ellie Roebuck joins FC Barcelona on a two-year deal after nine years with Manchester City.

The UEFA Women’s Champions League holders have got Roebuck on a deal until June 2026 on a free transfer following the expiration of her contract at Manchester City.

Since joining Manchester City’s academy at the age of 15, Roebuck made her debut on the final day of the 2016 Women’s Super League season and went on to make 136 appearances – keeping 62 clean sheets in her nine-year spell for the Sky Blues – the second most clean sheets of any City women’s keeper just trailing behind Karen Bardsley.

Roebuck is a well-known name in the Lionesses squad, featuring regularly over the past few years, earning herself 11 caps – she was a part of the European Championship winning side in 2022 as well as acquiring a World Cup silver medal in 2023- however, she did not make an appearance at either tournament.

Despite not stepping on to the pitch in a major tournament for England, Roebuck spent summer of 2021 at the Tokyo Olympic Games representing team Great Britain as the team’s number one, where she kept two clean sheets, aiding her team to reach the quarter-finals before they were knocked out by Australia.

Roebuck’s current form is something that is relatively up in the air, due to a medical issue that saw her sidelined for the entirety of the 23/24 WSL season -she recently confirmed the reasoning for her absence on her social media after much speculation to as why she had suddenly been dropped from Gareth Taylor’s matchday squads.

Her last appearance for City was against rivals Manchester United (23/5/23) where she received a red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. However, if her prior seasons are anything to go off then Barcelona have bagged themselves a steal, signing the inaugural WSL golden glove winner!

The USLSuper League is an immediate challenge for the A-League Women.

By Kieran Yap 21/3/24

With a minimum wage reported to be more than double what it is in the A-League Women, the USL Super League is an opportunity for players that Australia needs to quickly catch up to.

There is about to be shift in Australian domestic football. The last month has seen Sarah Clark and Cannon Clough of Canberra United, Hannah Keane (Western United), Hailey Davidson (Wellington), Vicky Bruce (Western Sydney), Izzy Nino (Newcastle Jets) and Mia Corbin (Brisbane Roar) move to the USL Super League.

So far the majority of the players swept away to the newly launched competition have been Americans in our top Australian league, but the additions of Wellington’s Grace Wisnewski and former NPLW Vic striker Delaney Lindahl should signal some alarm bells in the A-League Women.

For Australians unfamiliar with the USL, it forms the second top tier professional women’s league under the control of US Soccer. It is a professional league, containing eight teams and although they do not have the profile and resources of an NWSL club, clubs are reported to have an estimated wage budget of $750,000 AUD as a minimum if the expectation is to be competetive. More recent estimates and transfer activity indicate that many clubs are preparing to pay more than that.

By comparison, the A-League women’s salary cap floor currently sits at $500,000. It is an impressive 20% increase on 2022/23, but crucially it has a cap of $600,000. Things are moving in a positive direction, just not quickly enough to keep pace with the competition.

The USL Super League is quickly being seen as a destination for experienced players in itself, not as a stepping stone to the NWSL. The absence of a draft system makes it particularly attractive as a point of difference from the existing, higher profile league.

The A-League Women has a minimum wage of $25000 that is paid over the six-month season, with scholarship players earning far less with a minimum of $12,400.

The Project reported an aim by the APL to make the players full time athletes by 2030 in a story widely shared by players, but this seems to be something of an admirable ambition more than a plan. To date no concrete pathway to this goal is publicly available, and there are no announcements so far to create an Australian second tier competition.

It had been suggested that players can earn more than twice as much in the USL, which has a minimum wage of around $50,000 AUD and is comparable to the NWSL

There are unavoidable aspects to Australian sport that make it expensive. Travel costs for away trips are huge, and Australian off-field facilities are widely accepted to be above club in many “major” leagues in Europe. But these caveats do not change the reality, the players can now earn more elsewhere.

There is a bright side to the best American talent in the A-Legaue Women being poached in that it offers opportunity to young Australian players or senior NPLW stars, but the quality that players like Keane, Catherine Zimmerman, Corbin or Shea Connors  have brought to this league cannot be easily replaced.

These players hail from abroad but are A- League stars. They bring a lot to our league and long term having our best youngsters playing in an increasingly isolated and insular league will reduce the quality of the national team talent pool.

The acquisition of Wisnewski means that the scouting has gone beyond just those that might want to return home. The Wellington Phoenix midfielder is a capped Football Fern, and a bright prospect for New Zealand the Phoenix. It is another feather in the cap of the youth system in Wellington that also produced a league record transfer for Macey Fraser.

However, it does mean that the best local talent in the A-League women is being scouted and approached with an opportunity to potentially double their income and be in the shop window for what is still one of the world’s highest profile women’s leagues in a lucrative and growing sponsorship market.

Lindahl was an excellent NPLW player for The Preston Lions, and although she is American and her journey included a brief stopover in the Romanian league, she is a player that was not on the radar of any A-League clubs, but has found a professional career in the USA.

If NPLW players can potentially earn more than A-League Women’s stars with a move to the USL, 2030 is too long to wait for full professionalism.

Women’s football is growing rapidly worldwide. Investing now should not be seen as a risk. It is a chance to get in on a rising stock in while it’s relatively cheap. The Americans realised this after three years of market research into starting a second tier and then invested enthusiastically.

While the Australian league has higher wages and better conditions than many other countries, it still leaves players needing second jobs and without a club for half the year. On the back of a historic World Cup and record crowds and viewership in the A-League Women, it does feel like investment is not being made to meet the opportunity.

Critics will ask “what about the revenue?, should they not be paid according to what they bring in?” the short answer is “No.”

Following that logic The A-League Men would not exist. It launched in 2005 with a salary cap (excluding marquees) of $1.5 million. Not a ball had been kicked or ticket sold.

This was called “investment” and so far the results are a near annual period of navel gazing and asking, “how to we crack the puzzle of domestic football in Australia?” without ever thinking, “have we tried putting more money and effort into women?”

If 2005 was seen as the ideal time to launch a fully professional men’s league on the (well placed) hopes of Socceroos success in 2006, then the the 2023 World Cup and the 2023/24 domestic season should seem like an equivalent or greater opportunity for the women.

The hesitation is mostly due to a lack of imagination, terror of innovation, and a misplaced but ingrained societal belief that women’s sports is inherently less marketable or interesting to the wider audience.

The counter point will likely be a lack of funds, but those have always been available for another get rich quick scheme like a former men’s Marquee turned millstone. The fans aren’t buying it anymore.

There is nothing wrong with being a development league, or a stepping stone to the world’s biggest stages. It brings its own excitement and value. But it is harder to develop players without quality international teammates around them at senior level.

The APL has publicly aimed high, but the recent activity of the USL clubs has shown that the former CEO’s claims that we have a “top five league” are rapidly at risk of becoming fantasy.

2030 is too far away, on the basis on these transfers tomorrow is already too late. The time to invest money, the time to make money for everybody is now.

Women’s football is an opportunity that is being seized around the world. Australia needs to keep up and grow alongside with it while it is still affordable to do so. If our best players are not rewarded, the rest of the world is ready to take advantage and it will be too expensive to catch up.
