Matildas trio named in Olympic squad

Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley and Kyra Cooney-Cross celebrate the Conti Cup win with an Australian flag

Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord and Kyra Cooney-Cross are all heading to Paris this summer, having been named in Australia's Olympic squad. 

The Matildas announced the 18-player roster on June 4, with Steph Catley captaining the side. Catley and Foord will both become three-time Olympians in July, whilst this is the second Olympic Games for Cooney-Cross. The trio recently represented their country at last summer's FIFA World Cup, reaching the semi-finals. 

Drawn in Group B, Australia will begin their Olympic campaign against Germany on July 25, followed by fixtures against Zambia (28 July) and the USA (31 July).

The Matildas recorded their best-ever Olympic finish in Tokyo 2020 when they reached the semi-finals, and the side will be looking for similar success this time around.
