Bio

Clare Wheeler has been named in her fourth major tournament squad, after making her debut back in the 2022 edition of the tournament. Since making her debut for Australia back in 2021 against the Republic of Ireland, the midfielder has gone on to feature at the 2022 AFC Women’s Asian Cup, making her starting debut during the tournament.

Since the last tournament, Wheeler made the move to Everton in 2022, shining for the Toffees, captaining her side, and has demonstrated her ability to run the game from the middle of the park.

The midfielder has made a name for herself for her work rate in the centre of the park, with a composed possession-based game.

Wheeler's first international goal came for Australia against their AFC Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026™ opening game opponents, at the very venue where the first game will be played.
