The teams are in ahead of Round 21 in the Liberty A-League – and squads around the competition are bolstered by Young Matildas stars returning from international duty.
The U20 squad secured a bronze medal finish at the AFC U20 Asian Cup, beating South Korea in the third-place playoff on March 16.
The Young Matildas squad featuring 22 Liberty A-League players have been together since February 19; more than a month later, after pre-tournament training camps and the tournament itself, 19 of the 22 Young Matildas selected from A-Leagues clubs are back among their respective club squads for the first time since Round 17.
Read on for all the team news ahead of Round 21.
