Australia’s preparations for Tokyo have been strengthened with the announcement they will take on Sweden on 16 June 2021 at Kalmar Arena, Kalmar.
The reigning Rio Games silver medalists and FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™ bronze medalists, Sweden will be another strong opponent for the Westfield Matildas as they sharpen their focus leading into the Women’s Football Tournament.
“Since learning of our opponents for the Games, we have quickly shifted our attention to ensuring we are best equipped for the matches ahead,” said Westfield Matildas head coach Tony Gustavsson.
April provided us with a lot of insights from the matches against Germany and the Netherlands. Ranked fifth in the world, in Sweden we have another top team that will challenge us with a different style and tactical setup.”
