The CommBank Matildas kick off with a two-match series against Slovenia in Perth on Thursday, 26 June, broadcast live and free on 10 and 10 Play, and streaming on Paramount+ from 8.30pm AEST. The second match will take place on Sunday, 29 June, live and exclusive to Paramount+.

The Tillies will then travel to Bunbury to host Panama on Saturday, 5 July, before completing the international window back in Perth with a second match against the Central American side on Tuesday, 8 July, with both matches live and exclusive to Paramount+.

With Montemurro at the helm, this window provides a vital opportunity to integrate emerging talent, test tactical setups, and reinforce the team’s foundations for the next international cycle.
