This is the last opportunity to gauge each other: the France team faces Australia, host country of the 2023 World Cup, less than a week before the start of the World Cup. Les Bleues remain on a 3-0 victory in the warm-up match against Ireland, despite a sluggish start to the match.
50,000 spectators are expected in Melbourne to watch the match, a new record for the local women’s national team, the Australian Federation announced on Thursday. The previous attendance record for a match for the Australian women’s national team dates back to 2021, for a friendly against the United States in Sydney, with 36,109 spectators.
Australia-France, kick-off at 11:30 a.m. French time. Match broadcast on TV on W9, to follow in full live-text on RMC Sport.
