Matildas unveil Asian Cup squad

SEVEN Brisbane Roar players have been named in Australia's 23-strong squad for the AFC Women's Asian Cup starting next week in Vietnam.

W-League player of the year Tameka Butt leads a strong Roar contingent that also includes Clare Polkinghorne, Laura Alleway, Kim Carroll, Katrina Gorry, Elise Kellond-Knight and Hayley Raso.

Under interim coach Alen Stajcic the Matildas open the defence of their Asian Cup crown next Wednesday night against Japan in Ho Chi Minh City.

Stajcic has had little time to work with the squad, having only last month replaced ousted coach Hesterine de Reus.

"We have only been able to work together for a short time since I came in but we implemented some new things which they responded well to and I'm confident that this squad has the potential to be successful in Vietnam and give the tournament a good shake," Stajcic said.

The Matildas will also play Jordan and Vietnam during the group stages.

The tournament's top five teams will qualify for next year's FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.

Matildas squad: Teigen Allen, Laura Alleway, Nicola Bolger, Tameka Butt, Kim Carroll, Stephanie Catley, Brianna Davey, Lisa De Vanna, Casey Dumont, Caitlin Foord, Kathryn Gill, Katrina Gorry, Michelle Heyman, Elise Kellond-Knight, Alanna Kennedy, Samantha Kerr, Leena Khamis, Teresa Polias, Clare Polkinghorne, Hayley Raso, Ashleigh Sykes, Emily Van Egmond, Lydia Williams.
