Kahli
Johnson

Kahli Johnson is a forward from the Land Down Under. She was an active child, so her family signed her up for soccer at four years old mainly to help her burn some energy. When she was 12, Kahli learned you could play soccer as a job, and from then on, she never wavered in her goal to achieve this. She signed her first A-League contract in 2021, before making three appearances with Sydney FC as a teenager. Known for her creativity on the pitch, the attacking forward has already amassed 3,000 minutes as a professional in the league.

A key fixture in Australia’s youth national program, Kahli has been a leading talent since breaking through at the senior level in New South Wales with Manly United FC. She has significant international experience despite her young age. She represented Australia at the U20 level, including the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup last year, and she regularly attended U23 camps in 2023 and 2024.

Did You Know

Kahli’s favourite soccer memory is playing in the U20 World Cup in Colombia against the host nation. One of her favourite stories is from her mentor, Tim Cahill, who has a great underdog tale that shows with hard work and persistence, anything is possible. Away from the pitch, Kahli enjoys reading and making coffee.
