Kickoff times to be announced by AFC General Secretariat following the draw.
 
Just occurred to me that these will be double headers. Good thinking. School groups in afternoon and everyone else later.
 
Single match tickets go on sale

Football Family Presale on 4 September
VISA presale on 5 September
General Sales on 11 September

With the Package sales allowing a Final tickets add on and the Matildas popularity I reckon a lot of tickets to the final will have been sold already and the presales and General Public Final ticket allocations may run out quickly.
 
Got my tickets to the Final. There were more tickets available than I had hoped - guessing about 50% as there were lots of tickets on the third tier.
 
Here's the complete Asian Cup player pool (you need 18 to 23 players in your squad including three goalies, though I think it should be upgraded to 26 like the men's):

Legend: Is in the October 2025 squad, Has less than five caps, Was in either the 2022 Asian Cup squad and/or the 2023 World Cup squad, Is over the age of 30 or will be by March 2026*, Is still eligible for another nation per FIFA rules**, Is currently recovering from a long-term injury***

Goalkeepers: Morgan Aquino, Mackenzie Arnold*, Sally James, Chloe Lincoln, Teagan Micah, Jada Whyman

Defenders: Alexia Apostolakis**, Tegan Bertolissio, Ellie Carpenter, Steph Catley*, Charli Grant, Wini Heatley, Clare Hunt, Alanna Kennedy*, Matilda McNamara, Jess Nash, Courtney Nevin, Tash Prior, Jamilla Rankin, Karly Røstbakken, Charlize Rule

Midfielders: Chloe Berryhill*, Milly Boughton**, Alex Chidiac, Kyra Cooney-Cross, Leah Davidson, Indi dos Santos***, Jynaya dos Santos, Jacynta Gala**, Daniela Galić, Isabel Gomez, Katrina Gorry*, Laura Hughes, Sarah Hunter, Hana Lowry, Alana Murphy, Amy Sayer, Adriana Taranto, Emily van Egmond*, Clare Wheeler, Tameka Yallop*

Forwards: Caitlin Foord*, Mary Fowler***, Sharn Freier, Emily Gielnik*, Bryleeh Henry, Michelle Heyman*, Kahli Johnson, Sam Kerr*, Grace Kuilamu**, Holly McNamara, Hayley Raso*, Remy Siemsen, Kaitlyn Torpey, Cortnee Vine

Note: Obviously the pool can change, for example I think Milly Boughton and the dos Santos sisters (both of whom I added voluntarily) should get called up for a friendly some time soon, but this is the current pool.

Who makes your squad as of now?

  • Charli Grant
  • Clare Hunt
  • Alanna Kennedy
  • Courtney Nevin
  • Kyra Cooney-Cros
  • Emily van Egmond
  • Clare Wheeler
  • Tameka Yallop
  • Caitlin Foord
  • Sam Kerr
  • Holly McNamara

I think you forgot the queen herself (Charli Grant).

No Wini Heatley?

The amount of game time Charli Grant's receiving at club level has been fairly inconsistent in recent times though but I agree that she does bring much needed experience in major tournaments to the side.

True, she usually comes on as a sub but as a Spurs fan she needs a lot more than that. She needs to start.

Was basing off the list provided of the player pool - basically listing those who were at either the AC or WC last time around AND in the current squad. I think based off being in both, they would essentially be locks for the sqaud.

She was in the pool I listed. Though she wasn't played at all under Tony Gustavsson let alone at the tournaments, though she was first called up in 2021. She's basically now a lock, she was captain of Nordsjælland (one of the best clubs in Denmark) and now plays at Roma (one of the best clubs in Italy).

In the pool, yes - but not listed as both criteria I pointed out
