Reflecting soaring demand for fans to cheer on the CommBank Matildas, more football fans will now have the opportunity to do so this October as Football Australia and the Western Australian Government announced that Match Day 2 of the AFC Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Paris 2024™ Asian Qualifiers Round 2 (Asian Qualifiers) on Sunday, 29 October will be moved to Optus Stadium in Perth.
Drawn in Group A alongside Chinese Taipei, the Philippines and IR Iran, the crucial Match Day 2 schedule will see Australia take on fellow FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ participant, the Philippines (3.00pm AWST / 6.00pm AEDT), followed by IR Iran and Chinese Taipei (6.00pm AWST / 9.00pm AEDT).
The shift of the Sunday, 29 October 2023 matches from HBF Park to the 60,000-capacity Optus Stadium follows the exhaustion of allocated tickets for all three Group A match days at the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ venue.
All existing ticket holders for Match Day 2 and those who purchased a 3-Day Pass have received an email about this venue change and will receive further correspondence prior to 24 September 2023, with instructions on accessing an exclusive window to select new seats in the same category at no charge for the Optus Stadium Match Day.
