Eight Sydney FC Women’s players have been named in the 23 player squad for the Future Matildas program which develops Australia’s most promising footballers through a high quality, full-time high-performance environment.
Jasmine Black, Maddie Caspers, Indiana Dos Santos, Kirsty Fenton, Hana Lowry, Amber Luchtmeijer, Rubi Sullivan & Caley Tallon-Henniker make up the Sky Blue contingent which is more than a third of the squad.
Established in 2018, the Future Matildas Program plays a critical role in the national team pathway, preparing the country’s best U-20 and U-23 athletes to step into international football with confidence.
In 2025, the program has been expanded with additional high-performance staff, enhanced facilities, and an increased focus on competitive match play, ensuring a world-class development experience.
Since its inception, the program has been influential in developing players who have progressed on to represent the CommBank Matildas at the highest level, including Clare Hunt, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Charlotte Grant and more recently with Sharn Freier, Daniela Galic, Chloe Lincoln and Alana Murphy.
This year’s enhancements include upgraded recovery and gym facilities, expanded tactical analysis sessions, and a refined focus on developing the playing style in preparation for upcoming youth national team qualifiers.
Following the completion of their respective Ninja A-League seasons, the selected players will take a mandatory two week break before joining the program.
The first intake of athletes will commence on Monday, 12 May in Sydney.
