The Team Captains selected for both the 15th Asian Championships and 4th IDBF World Cup are:

Estella Ferri - Women's Captain

Has competed since 2018

Before this campaign, Estella represented the Auroras (Australian Dragon Boat Team) twice and will be competing in the World Cup for the first time

Estella was asked 'What does the captaincy mean to you'? - It means leading with dedication, resilience, unity and strength. It's about fostering trust and helping to guide the crew through the challenges of competing internationally. My goal is to help empower each member to perform at their best, both on and off the water, and to create a positive and cohesive environment. I'm leading by example, encouraging growth, and guiding the crew with passion and commitment.

Daniel Foucar - Open's Captain

Has competed since 2009

Before this campaign, Daniel represented the Auroras (Australian Dragon Boat Team) eight times and competed in the World Cup three times.

Daniel was asked What does the captaincy mean to you? - I have had some amazing captains over the journey who were all great leaders and great athletes, and I hope to follow in their footsteps. Being captain means being able to build up my teammates and help them to be the best that they can be. I want to lead by example on and off the water. I want to lift up others to achieve our best as a team. We have some great athletes on the team who are passionate about representing Australia with pride, and I am honoured to lead them.
