Matildas striker Michelle Heyman is set to make her debut at Canberra Stadium, a dream moment in her long career. She hopes the match marks the beginning of a fruitful Asian Cup campaign alongside Sam Kerr in attack.
Heyman, a seasoned forward, has expressed her admiration for Kerr and her desire to partner the national team captain. With Kerr’s status uncertain due to injury, Heyman is aiming to step up and contribute meaningfully.
The upcoming Asian Cup represents a major opportunity for Australia’s women’s team, with fresh talent like Heyman ready to support veteran stars. The team is focused on building strong chemistry and maintaining high performance.
Heyman’s local appearance is also a personal milestone, reflecting years of perseverance and passion for the sport. Fans in Canberra are expected to rally behind her, energizing the Matildas as they prepare for their tournament run.
