2026 Women's Asian Cup squad

[libelous]

I mean that we should make the Olympics under-23s for the women’s like the men’s does already. We have enough good U23 players and plenty of the current Matildas were under 23 at the time of the Paris Olympics in 2024.

In England, WSL teams are gonna play 26 league games next season plus games in the FA Cup and League Cup, plus some teams will have Champions League or Europa Cup games. Add on to that multiple international windows which are mix of friendlies, friendly tournaments and major tournaments. It’s too much, this is part of why so many women’s footballers tear their ACLs.

There are plenty of ACL injuries in the ALW and indeed the various state premier leagues.

Exactly it’s too much. A lot of ALW players also play too many games since they do NPLW too.

A lot of ALW players also play too many games since they do NPLW too.

Most A-League Women players who also play in NPLW only do so during the offseason though but the Dub is still a 22-matchday season with twenty games per team and two byes.
