Football Australia has today announced the 14-player squad to represent Australia at the ASEAN Women’s Futsal Championship Thailand 2026 to be contested from 24 February - 2 March.
The championship, hosted in Nakhon Ratchasima, marks only the second edition of the event and Australia’s debut appearance.
Australia will compete in Group B alongside defending champions Vietnam, Myanmar and Philippines and represents an important step in strengthening Australia’s presence within the ASEAN futsal landscape as the women’s program continues to expand its competitive footprint.
With seven nations vying for the regional title, the tournament provides Australia with valuable international match experience and a crucial opportunity to integrate new talent into the national program.
Australia enters the tournament with eight changes to the squad that featured at the Asian Cup and includes three players who are currently active in the A‑League Women’s competition.
Bruno Cannavan has been named Head Coach for the tournament, signaling the next phase of growth for the national program.
Cannavan brings extensive experience across elite futsal environments and a strong focus on tactical clarity, player development, and high‑intensity performance standards. His leadership will guide the squad through an important competitive window as Australia continues to build towards future international cycles.
Head Coach Bruno Cannavan said this tournament is an important opportunity for the continued development of the Australian Women’s Futsal program.
"We’ve selected a squad that blends experience with fresh energy, including eight players who were not part of our last international window. That competition for places is exactly what we want as we build depth and strengthen our identity as a team.
“The ASEAN Women’s Futsal Championships will give us meaningful match minutes against quality opposition, and that’s crucial for our growth and development. The National Futsal Championships plays a vital role in our talent identification process, and the selected squad is a strong reflection of this.
“For many of them, this is a chance to step onto the international stage and prove themselves, and I’m confident they’ll embrace the challenge with intensity and pride.”
