The 20th edition of the AFC Women's Asian Cup, held across the Maharashtra region of India, will kick off on January 20.

Tony Gustavsson faces a severe headache in selecting his Matildas squad for the upcoming Women's Asian Cup.

Nightmare starts for the Matildas against the USA saw them slump to a defeat in Sydney, then a draw in front of a packed Newcastle crowd.

You can idolise a sporting star your entire life, then they make one fatal mistake and it changes your perception almost immediately.

A highly competitive two-game series concluded with the Matildas drawing 2-2 against Brazil at CommBank Stadium.
