西瓜影视 today announced the CommBank Matildas 29-player Provisional Squad that will participate in the final preparations for the FIFA Women鈥檚 World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023鈩.
Australia will commence their FIFA Women鈥檚 World Cup 2023鈩 campaign against the Republic of Ireland on 20 July at Stadium Australia in Sydney before meeting Nigeria (27 July) at Brisbane Stadium, and completing their group play against Canada (31 July) at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
CommBank Matildas鈥 Head Coach Tony Gustavsson said the Provisional Squad reflects a significant commitment and hard work from players and staff over the past two and half years.
鈥淔rom the first day of our first training session in 2021, we said it would take 23 in 23 for the FIFA Women鈥檚 World Cup鈩 and everyone would have a role to play in that journey,鈥 Gustavsson said.
鈥淲hat we have seen is that it has actually taken more than 23 players to bring us to this moment and for that reason I am thrilled to work with the players named in this Provisional Squad during the final phase of our preparation.
鈥淚 have been impressed by their full commitment at every step, and now we have the chance to fine-tune and solidify our gameplan ahead of a phenomenally exciting couple of weeks.鈥
鈥淚 would like to also take this opportunity to thank the Federation, my dedicated national team staff and the clubs for the support given to provide the players the platform to be as best prepared for the tournament of a lifetime,鈥 Gustavsson concluded.
Members of the CommBank Matildas Provisional Squad and staff will assemble on the Gold Coast, Queensland, to complete the final preparations for the tournament in a closed high-performance environment.
Australia will then move to Melbourne where they will host world number five France in their final pre-World Cup tune-up at Marvel Stadium on Friday, 14 July 2023 with the match set to kick off at 7.30 pm AEST. Tickets are still available at .
Full coverage of the 鈥楽end Off鈥 Match will be broadcast live on 10 Bold, 10 Play and Paramount+.
