Lydia Williams walked into the #Matildas wanting to make women’s football better. she leaves it as one of the most important players to ever grace the sport.
some words from me on last night’s send-off game, and on the remarkable legacy Lyds has created. abc.net.au/news/2024-06-04/l…
We can confirm Mary Fowler has suffered a rupture to her anterior cruciate ligament.
Everyone at City wishes her all the best on a full and speedy recovery.

you love to see returning veterans like Gielnik, Logarzo & Chids here, but I'm even more buzzed for newbies like Gomez, Davidson, Aquino, Lowry & Prior. sometimes this first taste of international football is all a player needs to realise where they want to go with their careers.

Our squad to face Brazil & Chinese Taipei has been confirmed!

North Korea have now won the WWC U-17 and U-20 in a matter of weeks, seriously restating their youth powerhouse status.

As we gear up for the new A-Leagues Women (ALW) season, our latest Coach Tracker provides insight into the progress (or lack thereof) for women in head coaching roles across ALW teams.
Unfortunately, the news is underwhelming.

I’ll be on this panel of fab humans tonight at the Colombian Hotel in Sydney for @SydneyFC’s Pride Event to talk about LGBTQIA+ representation and inclusion in football! come along and say hello 🌈 ✨
absolutely silly to be nominated for this alongside my idols @LadiesWhoLeague, @marnievinall and @AnnOdong. making the shortlist is winning enough for me, all three of these incredible women deserve this recognition. go vote for them!!!
Love the @femathproject + am so honoured to have been nominated for their Impactful Storyteller Award. Would appreciate you voting whether for me or one of the other stars in my category; @battledinosaur @AnnOdong @marnievinall
who I know + love so much!

Chloe Lincoln and Daniela Galic getting a glimpse of senior Tillies life is arguably overdue. both have grown so much in the past 1-2 years, and Sermanni is the best at drip-feeding talented kids into senior football. let’s hope this is the first of many callups for both!
A new Commbank Matildas era begins - and there are 4⃣ Ninja A-League players in the squad 🙌
Special congratulations to @wufcofficial goalkeeper Chloe Lincoln who earns her first senior national team call-up! 👏💚

it’s difficult to capture exactly what makes our leagues simultaneously so silly and so special but this gets as close as anything I’ve seen at touching why we all love it. kudos to the content team and especially Ben Coonan, who understands us like few filmmakers do.

🥺 it really is Tillies transition time when both Clare Polkinghorne and Lydia Williams - the most-capped outfielder & goalkeeper in #Matildas history - are hanging up their boots in the same year 🥺
It's hard to imagine the Matildas without Clare Polkinghorne, but tonight she is announcing her retirement from international football. The legendary defender spoke to 10 News First exclusively from Sweden, to reveal her tough decision | @TheMatildas @10SportAU @10FootballAU @BenceHamerli
