England men’s and women’s teams will both play against Australia later this year.
Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses will take on Australia at Brentford’s Gtec Community Stadium Stadium on April 11, while Gareth Southgate’s side will host their counterparts on October 13.
The women’s match will be played five days after England take on Brazil in the 2023 Finalissima at Wembley Stadium and comes just a few months before the World Cup, which is taking place in Australia and New Zealand.
On the matches, Wiegman said: “We are always looking for different challenges and we are really happy to play two more strong non-European teams in Brazil and Australia in April.
“They will both be competitive at the World Cup, and Australia will give everything to impress because they are going into a home tournament with big expectation. They will want to show they are in good shape for the finals.”
“We know Australia have players at the highest level, so for us, it is another opportunity to see where we stand in our preparation for the World Cup.
“It will also be very special to play them at Brentford as it was a great Euros stadium. We want to create more excitement for our fans as we prepare for what we hope will be another memorable summer.”
