Many of our Gunners are in action for their respective national teams this month, with UEFA Women's Nations League fixtures and friendlies on the cards.
**Victoria Pelova** has received her first international call-up for the Netherlands since sustaining an ACL injury in June 2024. Alongside **Daphne van Domselaar**, Pelova will go head-to-head with **Manuela Zinsberger** and **Laura Wienroither**'s Austria twice (April 4 and April 8) in Nations League Group A1.
In Group 2, **Lia Walti** will captain Switzerland for their fixtures against France (April 4) and Iceland (April 8), whilst **Frida Maanum**'s Norway face Iceland (April 4) and France (April 8).
Four of our Gunners will be in action for England as they play Belgium, home and away. **Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly** and **Beth Mead** will feature for the Lionesses in Bristol (April 4) and Leuven (April 8). Elsewhere in the group, **Mariona Caldentey** and Spain play Portugal twice (April 4 and April 8).
**Amanda Ilestedt** is back with Sweden for the first time since returning from maternity leave. She joins **Stina Blackstenius** against Italy (April 4) and Wales (April 8). **Rosa Kafaji**, meanwhile, will play for Sweden's U23 side in two U23 European competition fixtures.
In Nations League Group B, **Katie McCabe** will captain Ireland across home and away legs against Greece (April 4, April 8). Ireland are currently in second place after two games played.
**Emily Fox** and the US Women's National Team have a friendly double header against Brazil this month (April 5, April 9), whilst Australia host South Korea twice (April 4, April 7). **Steph Catley**, **Kyra Cooney-Cross and Caitlin Foord** have all been called up for the Matildas.
**Teyah Goldie** and **Freya Godfrey** \- both on loan at London City Lionesses - head to Spain to represent England U23s in the European competition finals. Their first fixture is against Spain (April 3), and depending on the outcome of that tie, they will then face either Sweden or Belgium (April 6).
A host of our young Gunners will be in action for England U19s in their final round of U19 Euros qualifiers. **Katie Reid, Vivienne Lia, Laila Harbert, Michelle Agyemang, Jessie Gale** and **Cecily Wellesley-Smith** will line up for the young Lionesses against Belgium (April 2), Austria (April 5) and Ukraine (April 8).
