Wanderer Jitka Chlastáková has been named in coach Karel Rada’s Czechia national team for the upcoming Cup of Nations.
Czechia will play on Australian soil for the second time with their last meeting being over 20 years ago in the Australia Cup.
The Czechia squad is led by captain Petra Bertholdová who has 103 caps for her country, along with some up-and-coming youngsters.
In the squad is Wanderers midfielder Jitka Chlastáková, who made the move to Australia this Liberty A-League season following a decade with AC Sparta Prague.
The experienced midfielder has 40 caps for her country, and was recently part of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ qualification campaign.
Czechia is undefeated in their last five women’s internationals (W3, D2); they had gone winless across their seven matches prior to that span (D3, L4).
