The 2015 W-League season was one of the most successful and competitive to date and this year will continue to reach new heights as teams bring in new local players, coaches and imports.

In a bid to challenge reigning champions Melbourne City, clubs including Adelaide United, Sydney FC and Canberra United have invested in a variety of foreign and local talent expected to raise the bar this season.

2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup winner Yukari Kinga will join Canberra United alongside veterans Caitlin Munoz and Meg McLaughlin, while Brazil international Monica Hickmann Alves has been signed to Adelaide United.

Melbourne City will be affected by the loss of two valuable players in Lisa De Vanna and Kim Little, however the signing of Australian goalkeeper Lydia Williams and American imports Erika Tymrak and Lauren Barnes may help them maintain their championship title.

The upcoming W-league season has the highest recorded number of foreign arrivals across the board in the competition’s nine campaigns and in turn a much greater collective spend.

The cumulative amount clubs were able to spend on players in previous years will soon be increased to exceed million for the first time in women’s league history which has allowed for coaches to delve internationally.

26 players from across the globe are currently on the books to partake in the upcoming fixtures, meaning fans can look forward to an unrivaled and unpredictable 2016 season.

In addition to the ongoing list of new players entering the W-League talent pool this season several clubs will also see fresh faces in head coaching positions.

Earlier this year the Western Sydney Wanderers women’s team announced Richard Byrne as their new head coach for the upcoming 2016/17 season having worked with teams and players globally from grassroots though to a professional level.

The Brisbane Roar too has a new face on the scene with Mel Andreatta assuming Belinda Wilson’s spot as head coach during the off-season.

These changes appear to have occurred in light of Melbourne City’s championship reign last year with teams aggressively reacting and recruiting to ensure they can rival the high-flyers in the 2016 competition.

As a result, women’s domestic football is looking to advance and achieve new standards this season, which is exciting news for future player development, teams and fans.
