Joining 10's football family to host the international clash is top sports broadcaster Niav Owens, and former Matildas midfielder and Brisbane Roar W-League Championship winner, Amy Chapman. Calling the match will be 10’s expert football commentator Simon Hill.

Amy said: "I am looking forward to seeing the Commonwealth Bank Matildas back in action for the first time since their successful Olympics campaign. 

"This match is a great opportunity to build on their recent performances and will be crucial for their preparation heading into the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup."

Earlier this year, ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand and the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) announced a landmark media partnership deal worth $200 million. The five-year agreement aims to give Australian football the greatest reach it has ever had.

On top of that, they spent another $100 million in a contract with Football Australia to secure more soccer broadcast rights. The deal will see all the Australian National Teams and the FFA Cup matches broadcast across Network 10 and on Paramount+.
