Led by their inspirational captain and local hero, Sam Kerr, the Matildas will be taking the field at HBF Park later this year. These matches, forming round 2 of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Paris 2024 Asian Cup Qualifiers, promise to deliver an electrifying display of skill, talent, and determination.
Premier Roger Cook commented, “The festival of football in Perth will continue after the FIFA Women’s World Cup, when the eyes of the world will once again be on Western Australia as our national team, the Matildas, fight for their chance to represent Australia at the Paris Olympics 2024.”
