With just under two months until the Paris Olympics, the Matildas are putting their finishing touches on their squad before making a medal run. Follow live.
With the Paris Olympics less than two months away, Matildas boss Tony Gustavsson must whittle down his 23-player squad to just 18, with a two-game friendly series against China the last chance he has to decide who is in and who is out.
There have been ebbs and flows of dominance between the two sides over the decades, but results have been pretty balanced overall, with the Matildas winning 12 games and drawing 11, while China have won 19.It's been quite a while since they last met, though! Some of you may remember it - and not for super positive reasons.
Instead, the games were hastily relocated to Sydney after players expressed concerns about travelling to the region, and as lockdowns began shuttering the whole world.China hasn't quite been the force that they were back in the day, but their 2022 Asian Cup win shows they're no push-overs.
