The nationwide knockout competition will be the first of its kind for Australian women, and will run parallel to the men's edition starting from next year.
abc.net.au/news/football-australia-to-launch-womens-australia-cup-in-2024/102080742Football Australia will launch the first-ever Women's Australia Cup next year to capitalise on the expected boom in participation following the 2023 Women's World Cup, adding an extra layer of competition to the domestic game for women and girls.
The Women's Australia Cup will also act as a second qualification pathway for the incoming AFC Women's Asian Champions League. Melbourne Victory participated in the first AFC Women's Champions League pilot back in 2019. They finished fourth. The proposed Women's Australia Cup will run in parallel with the men's Australia Cup, formerly known as the FFA Cup, which began in 2014 after several stop-start iterations over the decades.
