Tokyo 2020 Olympic Roster: Introducing the goalkeepers

The groups have been drawn, the matches set, and now Australia has a squad for Tokyo!

With only three weeks to go until kick-off in the first game against New Zealand, it's time to meet the team that will be representing Australia. 

Kicking things off are the women between the sticks: the goalkeepers!

Lydia Williams 

Lydia Williams has been in the national team set up since she was 17, debuting against South Korea in a friendly in 2005. She is one of the most experienced players in this Australian squad and one of the 12 women who will be making their second appearance at an Olympic Games.

The Arsenal custodian had an injury-interrupted domestic season but is back to full fitness and raring to go.  With the second most clean sheets in national team history, Williams is as reliable as ever.

Teagan Micah 

From the longest serving Matilda to one of six debutants, Teagan Micah will be making her Olympic debut in Tokyo. It's been a busy month for Micah. She moved to IL Sandviken in Norway and made her Matildas debut against Sweden.


To top it off she was named Goalkeeper of the Year at the Dolan Warren Awards after her strong season with Melbourne City. An alumna of UCLA, Micah is one of the youngest members of this squad at 23 years old.
