Adelaide United is thrilled to announce goalkeeper, Ilona Melegh has been selected for the CommBank Matildas’ 24-player squad for the June international window which has been confirmed today, with Australia to host Mexico in a two-match series across New South Wales.
Head Coach Joe Montemurro has selected a mix of core Commbank Matildas players alongside players who have impressed at club level, which continues to evolve the depth of the team as they prepare for the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ 2027.
Goalkeeper Ilona Melegh (Adelaide United) receives her first senior call-up, while Alana Murphy (Nottingham Forrest) returns to the squad for the first time since June 2025, adding further quality and versatility to the midfield unit.
The June series will also feature two potential milestones, with Ellie Carpenter currently sitting on 99 caps and Caitlin Foord on 148.
Quote attributed to CommBank Matildas Head Coach, Joe Montemurro:
“This window provides another important step for us as we continue building consistency and clarity in the way we want to play.
“We’ve retained a strong core group, while also creating opportunities for players who have performed well at the club level and are ready for experience in the international environment.
“Mexico will present a different challenge for us, and that’s exactly what we need at this stage. Exposing the group to varied opposition and conditions is critical as we continue to grow, and we’re looking forward to maximising our time together both on and off the pitch.”
The CommBank Matildas will kick off the series at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle on Saturday, 6 June, before travelling to Sydney for game two at CommBank Stadium on Tuesday, 9 June.
The two-match series will provide fans across New South Wales with the opportunity to see the national team take on a world-class opponent on home soil, inviting supporters to be part of the team’s ongoing journey towards the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ 2027.
