After a tough training camp in Christchurch (March 20/21) Coach Paul Wadsworth has announced his squad to prepar for the World Futsal Association Futsal World Cup.
The squad contains 4 players new to the womens program (Cumming, Rutene, Pyke and Swartz) and will eventually be cut to 12.
"The training weekend went exceptionally well with all athletes really stepping up which made the final squad extremely difficult to name", explained coach Wadsworth. "I fully expect some of those who missed out to force their way into the side in the comming years,for now, I'm looking foward to working with the named squad".
The side will play a 3 test series against Australia in June and then either head to Argentina or Spain in November.
