Brazil head coach Emily Lima has named a 20 player squad to take on Australia in Penrith and Newcastle.

The 20 player squad includes many of the Brazilians biggest names including Marta, Cristiane, Andressa Alves, Fabiana and Camila.

It is also a squad that will be stronger than the one Australia faced at the Tournament of Nations with the likes of Cristiane, Andressa Alves, Rafaelle and Fabiana all available to As Canarinhas.  Meanwhile preferred number 1 goalkeeper Barbara will be unavailable due to injury.

This will be the first time five time FIFA World Player of the Year Marta - who currently plays alongside Alanna Kennedy and Steph Catley at Orlando Pride - will play in Australia after missing the Brazilians 2014 tour due to injury.

Tickets have been selling well for the two internationals with over 10,000 sold for the Newcastle match and over 7,000 for the Newcastle game.  Both would surpass crowds for previous Matildas internationals.

Australia take on Brazil in a two match series on 16 and 19 September 2017.  Tickets are still available at Ticketek
