CommBank Pararoos step up preparations ahead of IFCPF Asian-Oceania Cup

The CommBank Pararoos will assemble at Valentine Sports Park from 25–28 September 2025 for their third training camp of the year, as preparations build towards the IFCPF Asian-Oceania Cup in Surakarta City, Indonesia (12–23 November 2025).

Head Coach Kai Lammert has named a 16-player squad for the camp, with representation from six Member Federations across the country.

Fifteen of the players have featured in previous 2025 training camps, with the Goki Saito from New South Wales returning to the Pararoos set-up for the first time since 2022.

Familiar CommBank Pararoos faces Joshua Beekes and Ryley Lincolne also return to the squad striving to impress selectors ahead of November’s international tournament.

The Asian-Oceania Cup represents the CommBank Pararoos’ first major competition since last year’s IFCPF World Cup in Spain where the side impressed with its resilience and growth.

With limited opportunities for international fixtures throughout the year, each domestic camp plays a crucial role in ensuring players are primed to compete on the global stage.

Quotes attributable to CommBank Pararoos Head Coach Kai Lammert:

“Each camp this year has built towards the Asian-Oceania Cup which is fast approaching. Our focus is on sharpening combinations, lifting our intensity, and ensuring we arrive in Indonesia ready to perform at our best.

“It’s fantastic to see familiar faces like Joshua, Goki and Ryley back in the squad. Competition for places is fierce, which is exactly what we want leading into a major tournament.

“International fixtures are few and far between for us, so we have to create that intensity at home. These camps give the players a chance to test themselves, adapt to our style of play, and put themselves in the best possible position for selection.”
