The camp will be held at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra between Sunday, 20 January 2019 and Thursday, 24 January 2019.
Last September Dower’s squad ventured to Bishkek in Kyrgyz Republic for the first phase of qualifying and won all four of their matches to comfortably advance to the second stage of qualifying.
In March the Westfield Junior Matildas will play in Laos against IR Iran (3 March), Vietnam (5 March), and the host nation (7 March) at the New Laos National Stadium in Vientiane.
The side will require a top-two finish in their pool to advance to the 2019 AFC U-16 Women’s Championship.
“We’re delighted to name an extended squad for our first Westfield Junior Matildas camp of 2019 to take the next step towards qualifying for the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship in Thailand in September,” coach Rae Dower said.
“Most of the players have had a good break since their season ended last year and this will be our first time together since our successful tour of Kyrgyz Republic.
“We will need to build on our performances from Round 1, with the challenge for this age cohort being players can change so much over six months. I'm confident this camp will assist the staff and I to select a highly competitive team and one which will qualify through to the 2019 AFC U-16 Women’s Championship.”
