March 1, 2026 · The Guardian

Australia's Matildas begin their Women's Asian Cup 2026 campaign against the Philippines, with coach Joe Montemurro naming a 26-player squad featuring both experienced players and new talent.

The Matildas are set to host the Women's Asian Cup 2026, with their tournament opener against the Philippines taking place in Perth, Gold Coast, or Sydney. Despite talk of renewal and generational change under coach Joe Montemurro, the squad retains many familiar faces alongside emerging talent.

The tournament marks a significant home competition for Australia, coming just over three years after their previous semifinal appearance against England. Fans in host cities will have the opportunity to witness the Matildas as they begin their quest for continental glory.
