CommBank Matildas' Head Coach Tony Gustavsson said: "For preparation purposes, it was important to have secured a team with the quality and character of Scotland."

"While they narrowly missed out on qualification for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™️, Scotland is a well-organised and physical team with some world-class individual players, including Caroline Weir and Erin Cuthbert, whom our players know what they are capable of from playing with them in clubland."

The CommBank Matildas come into these London matches on a seven-match winning streak and are looking to continue building during the final phase ahead of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™.

The lead-up into the first global showpiece in the Southern Hemisphere will also include a Send-Off Match against France at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Friday, 14 July.

"The recent Cup of Nations tournament was another positive step forward with the team ticking off many objectives, but it also highlighted areas that we need to continue improving."

"We are looking forward to having another match in a city that is for many of our players a home away from home. The match against South Africa last October showed the local support the team has in London, and we are looking forward to seeing many of those proud Australian fans again before the FIFA Women's World Cup™."
