Not every part of tournament preparation happens on the football pitch. ✈️🇺🇸
After travelling more than 30 hours from Australia, these first few days in the USA were carefully planned to give the boys time to acclimatise, recover and strengthen their connection as a team.
To them, it may have simply felt like airport laughs, time in the pool and team dinners—but these moments matter.
Spending time together away from football helps players feel comfortable with one another, strengthens communication and builds genuine trust.
Because when players trust each other off the pitch, they support each other, communicate better and work harder for one another on it.
We came all this way to represent GFC and Australia as one united team. 🇦🇺
Now it’s time to take that connection onto the pitch at IBERCUP USA.
