Matildas Open Women's Asian Cup 2026

The Matildas, under coach Joe Montemurro, field a 26-player squad blending familiar faces with new talent for their tournament opener. Despite discussions of renewal and generational change, many experienced players remain in the squad.

The tournament marks a return to home soil for Australia, which last faced England in a semifinal three years ago. Fans in Perth, Gold Coast, and Sydney can attend the matches as the Matildas seek success in the continental competition.
