WAFC Reveals Squads for Upcoming Girls National Championships

The WAFC has released two squads for the upcoming AFL National Championships – Girls (U18) and the AFL National Development Championships – Girls (U16).

East Fremantle has seven players selected in the (U18) squad, which will play its first match at the AFL National Championships against South Australia on Sunday, April 30 at Pentanet Stadium in Joondalup.

Scott Baker, Executive Manager – Football Operations at the West Australian Football Commission, says it’s an important step for many players in the squad.

“This is such a great opportunity for our 18’s squad to test themselves against the best in the country.

It also will also provide a chance for the girls to showcase their skills in front of AFLW recruiters,” Baker said.

The WAFC has named a squad of 25 players for the upcoming AFL National Development Championships – Girls (U16).

It’s the first time WA has fielded a side in the National 16’s competition, a proud achievement for the Pathway Talent team at the WAFC.

“We’re really excited for the girls and their families.

To experience playing in Melbourne before returning to Perth will be outstanding for their development,” Baker said.
