The Australian Women’s National Football Team and Australia’s favourite national team, the CommBank Matildas, have once again showcased their unparalleled appeal by selling out three successive matches in Perth, Western Australia.
This impressive feat extends their record to an extraordinary 11 consecutive sell-outs, a streak beginning from the pre-FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ send-off game against France and continuing through the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ itself.
Two of these exhilarating matches in Perth (Match Day 1 on 26 October and Match Day 3 on 1 November) are being held at the 20,000 capacity HBF Park, while the third match (Match Day 2 on 29 October) will be showcased at the impressive 60,000 seat Optus Stadium, where it is expected to be echoing with the deafening cheers of dedicated fans.
James Johnson, CEO, commented on this incredible achievement, saying, “The CommBank Matildas have not only showcased exceptional talent on the field but have also united and captivated an entire nation. Eleven consecutive sold-out matches is no small feat; it’s a testament to the passion for women’s football in Australia.”
He continued, “The overwhelming support in Perth, from the intimate atmosphere at the football purpose built HBF Park to the grandeur of Optus Stadium, underscores the nation’s unwavering commitment to our women’s football team. We are immensely proud of the CommBank Matildas and equally grateful to the fans who have made this historic run possible.”
This series of sell-out matches further cements the CommBank Matildas’ position as a pivotal force in the sporting landscape, both in Australia and internationally. Their success not only underscores their prowess on the pitch but also speaks volumes about the country’s love for football.
This achievement was further buoyed by the support of the WA Government and Tourism WA, playing a pivotal role in promoting these matches and bolstering the profile of women’s sports within the region.
“The collaboration with the Western Australian Government and Tourism Western Australia has been instrumental in the CommBank Matildas’ recent success in Perth. Their commitment to championing women’s sports and enhancing the fan experience has been invaluable,” added Johnson.
