CommBank Matildas vs Colombia
Stay in the Heart of the Action at Novotel Canberra
International football is back at GIO Stadium Canberra as the CommBank Matildas take on Colombia on Saturday, 28 November 2026 at 7:35pm.
Opening a two game international series, the Canberra clash is a rare rematch between two of the world’s leading women’s football nations. Australia and Colombia have met just once before, with Colombia taking the win. This time, the Matildas have home support behind them and a chance to even the ledger.
Colombia arrives as one of South America’s strongest sides, following a quarter final appearance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and qualification for the 2027 tournament in Brazil. For the Matildas, the match forms part of preparations for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027.
Canberra knows how to turn up for the Tillies. Their last appearance at GIO Stadium saw Australia defeat Argentina 4 to 1 in June 2025. Expect another big crowd, plenty of green and gold and 90 minutes of international football under the lights.
