Australia's national women's team is finally back in action on home soil this week, with strong crowds expected to turn out in Penrith and Newcastle for a set of two friendlies against Chile on Nov. 10 and 13.
With the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France now just seven months away, the 20 players selected in Australia's squad have the perfect chance to press their claim for World Cup selection in front of head coach Alen Stajcic.
With the core of his experienced national team veterans back on the park, competition for spots is fierce and Stajcic insists the door remains wide open for others to force their way into contention.
