CommBank Matildas return to Victoria for Colombia blockbuster

The CommBank Matildas will make a long-awaited return to Victoria this December, with Geelong’s GMHBA Stadium set to host the second and final match of Australia’s international series against Colombia. 

The Wednesday 2 December clash marks the CommBank Matildas' first game in Victoria since December 2024, with fans from across the state expected to descend on GMHBA Stadium for the opportunity to see Australia's favourite team in action. The fixture will also be just the third time the national team has played in Geelong, and the first time it has faced a South American opposition in the city. 

Colombia has emerged as a consistent force on the international stage and continues to attract passionate support around the world. With a strong Colombian community across Australia, the match is expected to deliver a vibrant atmosphere befitting one of the most anticipated fixtures on the CommBank Matildas' 2026 calendar. 

The Geelong encounter will conclude a two-match series between the nations, following the opening fixture in Canberra, as the CommBank Matildas continue building momentum through a crucial period of preparation ahead of the FIFA Women's World Cup Brazil 2027.
