Sally Kathleen James [2] is an Australian soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for A-League Women club Canberra United. She has represented Australia internationally on both the under-20 and senior national teams.
James was a member of Australia women's national under-20 soccer team (Young Matildas), who played in all three of their group stage matches at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica. [4] Australia did not qualify for the knock-out stage. She joined the Australia U23 for the 2025 ASEAN Women's Championship, held in Vietnam in August. [5] During the first group stage match, James kept goals in her team's 1–2 loss against Myanmar. [5] However, Australia U23 improved their performances in the other group matches to reach the semi-final and subsequently won the championship final 1–0 against Myanmar. [5]
In 2025, James was added to the senior team's extended squad for two friendlies against South Korea in Sydney and Newcastle, following an injury to Mackenzie Arnold. She is still yet to debut for the senior team, however. [6]
