For Australia, key names include Chelsea's Sam Kerr and Ellie Carpenter, tournament top scorer Alanna Kennedy, Manchester City's Mary Fowler, West Ham captain Katrina Gorry and the Arsenal trio of Steph Catley, Kyra Cooney-Cross, and Caitlin Foord. Japans squad is equally impressive, featuring Manchester City players Yui Hasegawa, Aoba Fujino and goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita, as well as Manchester United's Hinata Miyazawa, Brighton's Kiko Seike and the two semi-final goalscorers Maika Hamano and Riko Ueki.This rematch of both the 2014 and 2018 editions of the Asian Cup finals is the final everyone wanted to see - the hosts against the favourites.
