In what has already been a fantastic start to the year for women’s football has come the news that the Football NSW Institute Girls squad will be participating in one of the biggest football tournaments in the world, the Dallas International Cup that kicks off today (12^th April) and concludes on Sunday 16^th of April.

The Dallas International Girls Cup is an invitational event hosted by the Dallas Texans, who are ranked as the best youth soccer club in the United States.

Two Football NSW Institute teams will be participating to contest in the Under 13’s, coached by Linda Khamis, and Under 15’s coached by Nadine Shiels, categories.

Across the two squads, thirty players will have the chance to showcase their skills in arguably the most prestigious girls football tournament on offer.

Football NSW Institute Under 15’s Coach Nadine Shiels has coordinated the trip and is excited about the opportunity the tournament will present.

“Participating in the Dallas International Girls Cup is a fantastic opportunity for our girls to test themselves against some of the best development and elite programs in the world.

“Teams from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Canada and England will be participating, and I am excited to witness some great football from these young players.

“This will be an experience I know the girls and coaches will embrace.”

The Dallas International Cup age groups range from Under 12s right up to Under 17s, with many scouting prospects on offer for the international teams who compete.
