The AFL has today announced the teams to feature in the 2025 Marsh AFL National Futures Girls match at IKON Park.
The talent showcase match will be played on Sunday, September 14 from 10:00am AEST ahead of the NAB AFLW Round 5 clash between Richmond and the Geelong Cats.
The teams for the Marsh AFL National Futures Girls match have been named after Carlton forward and two-time AFLW leading goalkicker Darcy Vescio and Richmond midfielder and AFLW best and fairest Monique Conti.
The Marsh AFL National Futures program brings talented players from across the country together in a high-performance environment as they prepare to enter their Draft year.
All players selected in the 2025 Marsh AFL National Futures squad are born in 2008 and will be eligible for selection in the 2026 Telstra AFLW Draft. Players were nominated by state talent programs, national selectors and AFLW club recruiters.
Many of the players selected will go on to feature in the 2026 Marsh AFL National Academy.
The Marsh AFL National Futures Girls squad features four members of the 2025 Marsh AFL National Championships U18 All Australian Team, of which Emma Charlton, Majella Day, Cara Dziegielewski and Bailee Martin were selected as bottom-age players.
Players will arrive in camp from Saturday, September 12 and will train at the NEC Hangar on Saturday morning in preparation for Sunday’s showcase match.
