After afternoon of football, the players of the IC11 Women’s Division were invited to the Women’s Launch in the function room overlooking Oval 1. Against a backdrop of the USA Revolution playing against the Japanese Samurai in the men’s division, the women gathered together, many meeting each other for the first time, some with jubilant faces from a hard fought win, others reflective of experiences gained and lessons learnt on the history making opening day of the first ever Women’s International Cup.
After the Canadian Northern Lights and their opponents, the triumphant Irish Banshees, had joined the group, fresh from an exciting game of two of women’s football’s top teams, the launch function began with an introduction from the Indigenous leader of western Sydney, welcoming the teams to their country and lands, and wishing them all the best for both their stay in Sydney and their hopes for the International Cup.
