2023 FIFA Women's World Cup
Semi-finals
Australia v England
Stadium Australia
Sydney, Australia
Wednesday, 16 August 2023
Kick-off is at 12h00
Australia will be carrying the hopes of a nation when they go up against England in the semi-finals of the 2023
Women's World Cup on home soil at Stadium Australia in Sydney on Wednesday, August 16.
The Matildas have performed beyond expectations at the global showpiece as they topped a tough Group B containing Olympic champions Canada, African powerhouses Nigeria and the Republic of Ireland.
Tony Gustavsson's side then saw off Denmark in the round of 16 before eliminating France in the quarter-finals following a tense penalty shootout, which saw seven players miss from the spot.
This is their best run on the world's biggest stage, having previously gone as far as the last eight on three occasions, and Gustavsson believes his players are creating a lasting legacy.
"I genuinely really believe that this team can create history in so many ways, not just winning football games," he said.
"The way that they can inspire the nation, how they can unite the nation, how they can leave a legacy that is much bigger than 90 minutes of football. That is also why I believe in them so much.
"When that drives you, that is a powerful tool that is very difficult to stop, and I have sensed that from day one working with this team, the inner drive is what gets them to where they are today."
Australia's all-time leading goalscorer Sam Kerr could make her first start of the tournament after missing the first three games with a calf injury. The Chelsea forward made a 10-minute cameo against Denmark before stepping off the bench again to feature for 65 minutes against France and scoring in the shootout.
