International Magpies: Joel named in Wales squad | OneFootball

Lois Joel

Joel has been named in the Wales squad ahead of two FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers in June.

Rhian Wilkinson's side, who currently sit in second place of Group B1 on goal difference, face Montenegro in Podgorica on Friday 5 June (kick-off 5pm BST) and Czechia at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday 9 June (kick-off 6pm BST) for the final matches of the group stage.

Cymru have secured a play-off place but seeding placements will depend on their final position in the group as they battle for top spot with Czechia. The draw for round one and two of the play-off stage will take place on Saturday 18 June.

Aoife Mannion and Emily Murphy

The Magpies duo are part of the Republic of Ireland squad for their Women's World Cup qualifiers against the Netherlands and France in June.

Carla Ward's side face the Netherlands at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork on Friday 5 June (kick-off 7.30pm BST) before travelling to France for a game at Stade des Alpes in Grenoble on Tuesday 9 June (kick-off 8pm BST).

Direct qualification for the 2027 tournament in Brazil is still a possibility, and Ward's charges are all but guaranteed a seeded play-off spot.

Anna Tamminen and Oona Sevenius

The United pair have both been called up to the Finland squad for their Women's World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Portugal next month.

Helmarit travel to Nitra to face Slovakia on Friday 5 June in their penultimate Group B3 clash at the Štadión pod Zoborom [kick-off 3pm BST] before hosting Portugal four days later at the Tammelan Stadion in Tampere [kick-off 6pm BST].

Torpey has been named in the Australia squad for their friendly double-header against Mexico in June.

The Matildas play their first game on Saturday 6 June at the McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle [kick-off 7.15pm AEST] before taking on the same opponents on Tuesday 9 June at the CommBank Stadium in Sydney [kick-off 7pm AEST].

Freya Gregory

The 23-year-old has been called up to the Scotland squad for their Women's World Cup qualifying double-header against Israel.

Scotland, who sit top of Group B4, travel to Hungary as they look to continue their unbeaten qualification campaign as well as gaining promotion to League A of the UEFA Women's Nations League.

After facing Israel on Saturday 5 June [kick-off 5pm BST], Melissa Andreatta's side will go head-to-head with the same opponents four days later [kick-off 6pm BST].

Both matches will take place at the Bozsik Aréna in Budapest.
