"Our thoughts and prayers are with her parents Ivan and Wasima, her family, friends and teammates during this difficult time.

"Hannah loved playing soccer, and her team will deeply miss the force that she was on the field," one person said.

"Terrible news, such a loss for all and so terribly sad for her family and friends," another said.

The Matildas football team also said its hearts were with Hannah's family, friends and teammates at this "incredibly difficult" time.

"Her love of the game and playing with her friends represents everything beautiful about the game, and our thoughts are with everyone at the club, her family and her friends," a statement from the Matildas said.

"Hannah will always be part of our football family."
