London City Lionesses have 16 players (representing nine different countries) jetting off for international fixtures this February and March.
Alanna Kennedy and Saki Kumagai, representing Australia and Japan, will play in the Asian Cup this international window, whilst our other players will take part in World Cup qualifiers and international friendlies.
A special mention goes out to Poppy Pattinson, who earned her first senior call-up to the English national team earlier this week. Read her story here.
We are incredibly proud to have 16 players heading out to play for their countries, it is a credit to the hard work being done around the club.
Head Coach Eder Maestre said:
