Representatives from Capital Football have met with Football Federation Australia officials to push the case for a team in the ACT.

Capital Football CEO Heather Reid said: "We’re very positive that our bid for inclusion into the new league will be accepted after some encouraging discussions with the FFA."

Officials are hoping Canberra's club will feature the likes of local current Matildas and Young Matildas, Caitlin Munoz, Lydia Williams, Amy Chapman and Grace Gill.
