Alen Stajcic announced his 20-player roster for the Australian women’s national team ahead of a pair of September friendlies against Brazil. Sky Blue FC forward Sam Kerr, having the best year of both her club and international careers, headlines the Matildas roster.
The 23-year-old Aussie recently turned heads by scoring her first hat trick in international competition during the United States women’s national team’s (USWNT) Tournament of Nations (ToN), leading Australia to a 4-2 win over Japan. She then scored a single in the team’s 6-1 win over Brazil that saw the Matildas crowned as champions of the inaugural summer tournament.
