A full-time program based in Sydney to give the most potentially talented players a high-quality football training environment outside of the W-League season, players in the Future Matildas program have been identified by national team staff as having the potential to be international players in the future.

“West HQ has provided a ONE55 membership which provides access for the women in the squad along with coaching staff. We look forward to helping develop the future stars of Australian Football.”
