The Westfield Matildas will commence their final preparations for the Games against Denmark at CASA Arena, Horsens on 11 June 2021.
Denmark is currently ranked 16th in the world and boasts a host of players at some of the biggest women’s clubs in the world.
“To open the June FIFA International Window with a match against Denmark is another important step in strengthening the team ahead of July,” said head coach Tony Gustavsson.
Denmark is an excellent team with some world-class players and, like Sweden, will give us a different match style to compete against.”
“There are only a few more opportunities to observe the squad in pressure situations against quality opposition and we want to make the most of these opportunities.”

After the encounter with Denmark, the Westfield Matildas will face Sweden in Kalmar to complete their June schedule of matches.
