2021 Hyundai NTC squads confirmed
Football West can confirm the Hyundai National Training Centre squads for 2021.
Trials were held last month for the four teams – U13, U14, U15 and U19.
Football West Chief Football Officer Jamie Harnwell said: “The Hyundai NTC program continues to be the elite development pathway for female footballers in Western Australia.
“Despite the interruptions to 2020, Football West has remained committed to providing a professional environment in which these players can grow and flourish. With the Women’s World Cup in 2023, we are hopeful to see some of our graduates take to the field for the Matildas in Australia.
“None of this would be possible without the naming partner of the program, Hyundai Australia, and we thank Michael Beros and the team for their continuing support.”
Hyundai Regional General Manager Michael Beros said: “Hyundai is very proud to support the Hyundai NTC program, but more importantly we are so excited about the meteoric rise of women’s football in Western Australia.
“On behalf of Hyundai Australia, we congratulate the 2021 squad members and wish you every success as you tackle your football pathway to greater success. We are right behind you no matter what challenges lie ahead … just embrace it, feel it and celebrate it!”
