Amy Sayer

Amy Joan Irene Sayer (born 30 November 2001) is an Australian soccer player for Kristianstads DFF in the Damallsvenskan, the Swedish first division.

[citation needed] She was granted special permission to not attend classes due to her international team commitments and playing for Canberra United during the W-League season.

[citation needed] On 25 November, Amy Sayer scored her first goal in the country's top division in a 3–2 home win against Perth Glory at McKellar Park.

[citation needed] Sayer finished the season with one goal in 10 appearances, as well as being deployed in various positions such as an attacking midfielder and a left winger by manager Heather Garriock.

[9] These friendlies would take place in The Netherlands, causing Sayer to miss the middle portion of the Stanford season due to international duty.

Sayer's performances helped the Cardinal to a 13–6–1 record and an invitation to the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship, in which they unfortunately lost in the first round.

Throughout the remainder of the season, Sayer split playing time amongst her other teammates, appearing in 19 matches in total, primarily coming in as a substitute.

[11] This would help lead the Cardinal to a 17–2–2 regular season record and earn the team the honour of outright Pac-12 Champions and an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship as a 3-seed in the tournament.

She would return immediately afterwards to play in the second round against the BYU Cougars women's soccer team, in which the Cardinal would fall 5–4 on penalty kicks.

[citation needed] On 16 July 2018, Alen Stajcic called up Sayer to the senior Matildas squad to participate in the Tournament of Nations in the United States after impressing in her maiden W-League season in with 10 appearances.

[citation needed] On 9 November 2018, Sayer withdrew from the Matildas squad in the two-match series against Chile after a stress fracture diagnosis.

Following her impressive performance in the 2022 AFF Women's Championship, Sayer was once again promoted to the Matildas for a series of home friendlies against Sweden and Thailand in November 2022.

After a string of impressive performances in the USL W League with the San Francisco Glens, Sayer was called up to the Matildas by head coach Tony Gustavsson for their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup provisional roster, but was among the six final cuts for the competition.

In October 2023, Sayer was selected as part of the Matildas squad for the 2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, hosted in Perth.

[21] On 28 February playing in an Olympic qualifier against Uzbekistan in Melbourne, Sayer was a second-half substitute and scored her first goal for the national team in the 4th minute of extra time.
