Next generation of stars to step up
NATHAN TAYLOR
The Western Sydney Wanderers
have launched the Future Wander
Women program, created to find
and develop the stars of tomorrow.
With the FIFA Women’s World Cup two
years away and rising interest in the world
game on Australian shores, the Future
Wander Women program is an opportunity
to be discovered, mentored and
developed as the next superstar in western
Sydney.
Supported by the Wanderers Foundation,
the free 20-week training program,
which will commence in early May with
open trials being held in late April, is
aimed at female participants aged 14-17
years.
Wanderers CEO John Tsatsimas said
the program was the start of bigger plans
around the club’s female participation
programs.
“We are proud and excited to introduce
our Future Wander Women program to
our wider Wanderers community,” he
said.
“The program has been designed to serve
our community and offer a free development
program for the young women of
western Sydney to progress their development
in an elite environment.
“The opportunity for us to be able to
work with players who have the potential
to be part of our Westfield W-League team
from an early age and to supplement the
work their local clubs are doing is critical
to the program’s success.”
Tsatsimas said the female game was
critical to the club’s success.
“Ever since the Wanderers launched in
2012, we have had women’s football as a
core element of our club and business –
this is just another step in ensuring female
players in western Sydney have the best
opportunities in football,” he said.
Trials for the Future Wander Women
program commence at the end of April
and will be conducted by the program and
Wanderers Academy coaches at Wanderers
Football Park, with registrations now
open for girls born between 2004-2007.
Sessions will run each week during the
school term to complete the 20-week
program. Selected players will receive
professional coaching and training kit.

The Wanderers are on the hunt for female football stars of the future.
