NATIONAL women’s football coach Alen Stajcic has drawn a busy schedule for the country’s first-ever stint in the FIFA World Cup in July primarily for one reason: build momentum.
Then there’s the first round of the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifiers from April 3 to 11 with the Philippines bracketed in Group E with Hong Kong, Tajikistan and Pakistan.“We’ve got Wales, Scotland [and Iceland] in the Pinatar Cup, Olympic qualifiers in April and the SEA Games in May,” he said. “Hopefully we can lock up some games in June just before we go to New Zealand.”
“The preparations and the buildup with less than six months are very crucial,” said the 49-year-old Stajcic, whose stint as Australia’s women’s national team head coach is highlighted by a quarterfinals finish in both the 2015 Women’s World Cup and the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympics.
