“We want to accept, to take this challenge of playing against a top side and just give the girls the opportunity to go at there and enjoy the moment and whatever comes from that game, comes from that game,” said Torcaso. However, the Matildas pose a different challenge as they are currently ranked 11th in the latest FIFA World Rankings –just second to Japan in Asia – and finished fourth in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Unlike in the 2022 AFF Women’s Championship, Australia decided to call-up its big hitters as the Matildas navigate their way in the second round of the Olympic qualifiers in front of their home fans.
