The Matildas will face England in a blockbuster battle at Craven Cottage on Tuesday October 9 (local time).
Details of the highly-anticipated friendly against the Phil Neville coached Lionesses were revealed on Monday night.
The game will take place just four days after the Aussies face France in Saint-Etienne and is part of a massive line-up of international friendlies for Alen Stajcic's players as they test themselves against some of the world's best.
Double serve of Chile for Matildas
The high-profile friendly fixture comes just a month before the team will return to home soil to take on Chile in the two-match “Seven Consulting International Series”.
“It is very exciting to play the world’s number three (France) and four (England) ranked teams,” Stajcic said.
“England, having made the semi-finals in the last FIFA Women’s World Cup have continued to improve, and under new coach Phil Neville have transformed their playing style while going through undefeated in World Cup qualifying.
“Australia has a great rivalry with England in sport and I hope this match continues to evoke that same passion and engagement that we’ve seen in so many other codes over the years,” he concluded.
Neville added: “After the euphoria of securing qualification to the World Cup last Friday, we can now focus on a solid nine-month preparation period and these friendlies will form an important part of those plans.
“It’s been an incredible year for the Lionesses, but the hard work has only just started. The next nine months will be crucial and it begins with these friendlies. We’re all looking forward to testing ourselves against challenging opposition and I’m sure our fans will come out in good numbers to show their support.”
