The first game in Penrith kicks off on November 10 with the second in Newcastle three days later and FFA CEO David Gallop said he was excited by the match up.

“Last year’s matches against Brazil at these two venues were truly memorable events with a sell-out crowd in Penrith and a new crowd record in Newcastle,” said Gallop.

“The past 18 months have seen the Westfield Matildas go from strength to strength. They have captured the imagination of all Australians and have inspired a new generation of footballers.

“With the Women’s World Cup coming up in nine months, and our own bid to host the 2023 Women’s World Cup ramping up, matches like this are important on and off the field."

It will be the first time Chile, who recently qualified for the World Cup next year, has ever faced the Matildas.

NSW Minister for Sport Stuart Ayres added: “The Matildas are without doubt one of the most popular and successful Australian sports teams at the moment

"This is a fantastic opportunity for football fans in Penrith and Newcastle to see them in action on home soil.

“We expect this two-match series against Chile to be irresistible to fans."

Westfield Matildas coach Alen Stajcic will be using these two matches to as part of his team’s preparation for the Women’s World Cup in June next year in France.

“Chile are an emerging nation in international women’s football and have qualified for next year’s Women’s World Cup for the first time in their history,” said Stajcic.

"They had a fantastic Copa America this year and have shown a great level of technical proficiency, as we would expect from a proud South American footballing nation.

“For us to prepare for the Women’s World Cup, we need to play against a diverse range of opposition and Chile will be great challenge for us.

“The atmosphere at our matches in Penrith and Newcastle last year was amazing and I know that the players are looking forward to running out in front of large, vocal home crowds.”

Members of the Football Family and registered players are able to purchase tickets now, with tickets on sale to the general public from 11am (AEST) on Thursday.
