7mate will broadcast the Women’s Olympic Football Final Qualification Round between the Matildas and Japan on Monday.
The tournament represents the Matildas’ quest to compete at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
The broadcast will be hosted by Jason Richardson, with Brenton Speed and former Matildas captain Melissa Barbieri in commentary.
The Australian women captured the hearts of the nation with their deeds at last year’s World Cup, when they became the first Australian team to win a knockout stage at a World Cup when they beat Brazil 1-0.
It was the Japanese who knocked the Australians out of the World Cup with a late goal in the quarter finals, so the Matildas will be keen to atone for the loss.
The Matildas will also play Vietnam (2 March), Korea Republic (4 March), DPR Korea (7 March) and China (9 March) with the top two teams advancing to represent the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

I know that it was announced a while ago, but I am glad to see one of the commercial networks covering Women’s Sport. Even more glad that it will be in HD
Well, I for one, am glad that 7mate is still HD.
