For the second time in two months, the Commonwealth Bank Matildas are returning to home soil. This time around they’ll be playing the two-time defending FIFA Women’s World Cup Champions and world number one, the United States Women’s National Team. The first of two games will take place at Stadium Australia in Sydney, NSW on November 27, 2021, kicking off at 3pm AEDT. The game can be seen on Channel 10 and 10 Play.
Match two will be played at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle, NSW on November 30, 2021, with kickoff at 8:05pm AEDT.
The Matildas will be chasing a win, as they have lost to the United States in their past four encounters – Including the match for Bronze at the Tokyo Olympic Games, which saw the United States claim the medal.
Head coach Tony Gustavsson said “This is a vital and final opportunity to see the players against an extremely high-quality nation before we select the final squad for the AFC Women’s Asian Cup.
“Meeting the US women’s national team on home soil will mark the sixth unique opponent in the top 10 that this team would have faced in 2021.
“With each match, we are continuing to get one day better as a team, and at the same time providing invaluable experience to the younger players in the roster.”
