The Matildas will play reigning Tokyo 2020™ Olympic gold medallists, Canada, in the south of Spain in a final international fixture before commencing their Paris 2024™ Olympic Games campaign.

Australia and Canada will face off on Saturday, 13 July 2024 at 9.00pm CEST (Sunday, 14 July at 5.00am AEST) in Marbella, where both nations will be situated for their pre-Olympic training camps.

With both nations set to take part in the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament from 25 July – 10 August 2024, to assist in their final preparations, be played under “B” international conditions and will not be open to the public.

Australian fans will be able to watch the action between the Matildas and Canada live and exclusive on Paramount+ thanks to Football Australia’s broadcast partner 10 Paramount.

Head Coach Tony Gustavsson said: “Taking on a nation with the Olympic calibre of Canada will be a great analysis opportunity for us less than two weeks out from our opening match of Paris 2024™.”

“Canada are a unique opponent as not only does their squad feature world-class players, as a team they also have several attributes in terms of their playing style that mirrors what we will come up against in our group stage competitors.

“With the fixture taking place following two weeks of an intensive training block, the match will allow us to continue building and testing playing partnerships and firming new dimensions to our own game plan,” concluded Gustavsson.  

Australia (current world number 12) and Canada (current world number 8) last met on 6 December 2023 with the Canadians recording a tight 1-0 victory at BC Place in Vancouver.

The Matildas will be opening their Paris 2024™ Olympic Games tournament twelve days later when they face current world number 4, Germany, at Stade de Marseille on 25 July 2024 (7.00pm local).
