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).
