The Westfield Matildas preparations for the Games ramp up with a friendly against Sweden on June 16th.
For coach Tony Gustavsson, the Rio Games silver medallists and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup third-placed team present a different but equally strong test as Australia’s last two opponents.
“I think it s going to be a different challenge than Germany and the Holland game because this is a different type of team. And we also said we need to play different styles, explained Gustavsson. So not only is it a world class opponent, it s a different type of opponent that we played when we played Germany and Holland. So I expect it to be a really, really tough game, but also an important and good game for us.”
