The 19-year-old has been named captain of the NTFA under-20 women's team for the match against Southern Football League.
The under-20s side was introduced last year and it's the first time McCord has skippered the representative team.
"It's so exciting, I definitely didn't expect it," she said.
McCord, a defender, played in the NTFA team last year and also played two years of junior representative footy.
"I'm super excited, I definitely think we have a great group of girls and we've gelled really well as a team in the short amount of time we've been given to get to know each other.
"Both teams are a force to be reckoned with."
NTFA director of women's football Louise Millwood last week confirmed the game would be live-streamed with a link being sent to AFLW and VFLW coaches.
"It's exciting and gives you a bit of a kick up the bum when you know that everyone's watching and you've got to show what you've got," McCord said.
