Grab a table, a bar stool or set up a camp chair in Globe Lane this Saturday 12 August and join in the fun as we cheer on the Matildas as they play their quarter-final match.
All eyes will be on the Matildas as they take on France for their place in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup quarter-final. To celebrate, Wollongong City Council will set up two screens in Globe Lane in time for kick off. The screens will show both Australia V France at 5.30pm and England V Colombia at 8.30pm.
“Both games are set to be nail bitters, but the Matildas do-or-die match is a must watch,” Wollongong City Council Director Community Services Kerry Hunt said.
“We’re setting up two screens in Globe Lane so that community members can support the Matildas locally. We’ve tested a few locations for the live site and we’ve found that Globe Lane is a really great atmosphere with lots of patrons to local bars and restaurants gathering to watch the game.
“It can get cold once the sun goes down, so bring a beanie and more importantly friends and family to help you cheer on the Matildas. Wollongong’s a proud sporting city and we’ve a long history and association with the Matildas in our city – from players and supporters to coaching staff, medical staff, and administrators.”
