England Women are to welcome Australia to Brentford FC on Tuesday 11 April for an Alzheimer’s Society International.
The Lionesses have not played against Australia since October 2018, when Fran Kirby scored in a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage.
The Australia date comes five days after England play Brazil in the Finalissima 2023 at a sold-out Wembley.
Head coach arina Wiegman told TheFA.com: “We’re always looking for different challenges and we’re 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’re 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’s 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 EURO stadium. We want to create more excitement for our fans as we prepare for what we hope will be another memorable summer.”
Tickets for England v Australia go on general sale from 3pm on Wednesday 22 February at TheFA.com/tickets
