ABC1 will broadcast Football: Women’s International, the Matildas match against DPR Korea live at 3:30pm AEDT this Saturday to NSW, ACT, Victoria and Tasmania.

The match at Brisbane’s Ballymore Stadium by Australia’s female football team is a warm up for the 2010 Womens Asian Cup to be held in Chengdu, China, between 19th – 30th May.

This telecast will also include a 30-minute highlights package of the Matildas mid-week friendly match against DPR Korea played today.

Hosting the telecast will be former Matildas player Amy Taylor (pictured), with commentary from ABC sports broadcaster, Peter Wilkins and former Matilda, Alicia Ferguson.

“These international ‘friendly’ games against DPR Korea are a great build up for the Asian Cup and they’ll give Matildas fans a chance to see their favourite players in action,” says Amy.

“The games will be an excellent indicator of where the team is and what needs extra work.

“For the players it’s a super opportunity to prove their worth and secure a place in the final squad.

“I’m really looking forward to seeing how some of the younger players step up to international level, and it’s always enjoyable watching players like Heather Garriock, Sarah Walsh and Kathryn Gill.

“The Matildas have had some very tough and tight matches against North Korea, so these games will be a good measure of Australia’s readiness for the Asian Cup.”

  1. Doesn’t the lovely Amy Taylor still read the weekday sports for regional NSW viewers on WIN News? Is she still at WIN, or is this just a casual gig?
