The CommBank Matildas will face Paris 2024™ Bronze Medallist, Germany, away in Duisburg this October.
Australia will spend the October FIFA Women’s International Window in Europe, where they will play two International Friendly matches, the second being against the world-ranked #4 at Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena on Monday, 28 October (6.10pm CET).
This match will be the seventh ‘A’ International meeting between the two senior women’s national teams, with the last being during the group stage of the Paris 2024™ Olympics.
Football Australia CEO James Johnson said: “With a home AFC Women’s Asian Cup™ in 2026 and with an eye on the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup™, it’s important we continue to test ourselves against nations who will best prepare the team for these marquee tournaments,” explained Johnson.
“With many of our CommBank Matildas now based in the Northern Hemisphere and having only just commenced their new domestic seasons, we were keen to play this window away, with Germany fitting the bill and providing a great opportunity to commence the next four-year cycle,” concluded Johnson.
Following the Paris 2024™ Olympics, Football Australia commenced the recruitment process for a new Head Coach of the CommBank Matildas. Updates will be provided in due course.
Details for the second match in the October FIFA Women’s International Window will be announced in the coming weeks.
