"I think I'm just finding my confidence again. I feel like I'm still my normal self, I've just got to get more touches in and around the box. Today was a good start and there's a lot of belief in the team but as you see today, there's a lot of quality teams in the Asian Cup so you have to take it one day at a time."
"In light of the developing situation in the Middle East, matches in the West Region, originally scheduled for 2-3 March 2026, will now be rescheduled. The AFC will continue to closely monitor this rapidly evolving situation and remains resolute in ensuring the safety and security of all players, teams, officials, and fans."
Sam Kerr marked her return to international football with a goal in Australia's 1-0 victory over the Philippines in the Asian Cup. The Chelsea striker, who returned to action in September after nearly two years recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, scored in the 14th minute with a close-range header for her 70th international goal. Despite the win, Australia created numerous chances but failed to convert them. Kerr expressed confidence in regaining her form and emphasized the team's belief, while noting the competitive quality of Asian Cup opponents. Australia faces Iran next, though the AFC has postponed some domestic matches due to Middle East tensions.
