Indiana Dos Santos named in Young Matildas squad

Sydney FC teenager Indiana Dos Santos has been named in the Australian U17 squad which will travel to Vietnam for the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup Qualifying matches.

This follows on from a short camp held in Sydney last month in which the 15-year-old spent a week with some more talented individuals training at Valentines Sports Park.

Dos Santos recently returned to training with the rest of her Sydney FC squad for the 2023/24 season and will now depart Ante Juric’s sessions on Saturday to join up with Rae Dower’s squad.

Best of luck Indi!
