Melissa Andreatta has handed Scotland Under-23 defender Georgia Brown her first A squad call-up as the head coach names her squad for this month's friendlies against Morocco and Switzerland. Brown, 23, who plays in the USL Super League for Sporting Club Jacksonville, made her under-23s debut in May and impressed in wins over Iceland. The towering centre-back is one of four changes from Andreatta's first squad as boss earlier this year.

FAW Wales will play their first game in front of a Rodney Parade crowd for six years when they host Poland on Tuesday, 28 October (19:45 GMT). The match in Newport will come three days after Rhian Wilkinson's side face Australia in another friendly at Cardiff City Stadium. Wales boss Wilkinson has suggested some senior players may retire in October having finally had the opportunity to play at a major tournament, Euro 2025.

Ahead of the 2027 World Cup, the Lionesses will play Brazil, Australia, China and Ghana, with all four games set to be shown live on ITV. The back-to-back Euros winners begin their World Cup qualification in February but ahead of that they will welcome Brazil to Manchester City's Etihad Stadium on Saturday, 25 October. England last met Brazil in the inaugural Women's Finalissima at Wembley in 2023, winning a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw.
