CommBank Matildas To Face Japan In AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ Final.

March 20, 2026
It All Comes Down To This Moment On Home Soil.

The CommBank Matildas will take to the pitch this Saturday at Stadium Australia to face Japan in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ Final, with everything on the line as they chase a historic triumph on home soil.

After a hard-fought and compelling run through the tournament, the Tillies now stand on the brink of a defining moment, with the opportunity to lift the AFC Women’s Asian Cup trophy in front of a capacity crowd at Stadium Australia.

Supported by legions of passionate Tillies fans and the momentum of a nation behind them, the CommBank Matildas will enter the Final ready to deliver when it counts, with belief, resilience and attacking firepower carrying them to this moment.

Japan arrive into the Final off the back of a commanding semi-final performance, setting up a blockbuster decider between two in-form sides as both teams prepare to go head-to-head for the title.

For captain Sam Kerr, the final represents the opportunity to lead Australia in front of a home crowd on the biggest night of the tournament, as a squad that has delivered time and time again prepares for its defining moment. With Mary Fowler’s creativity and attacking spark, the energy of Hayley Raso and Caitlin Foord out wide, Ellie Carpenter’s impact from defence, the experience of Alanna Kennedy in defence and the reliability of Mackenzie Arnold in goal, the CommBank Matildas have showcased their depth, resilience and ability to rise when it matters most.

Also set to ignite Stadium Australia, ARIA Award-winning artist G Flip will headline the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ Final Closing Ceremony, delivering a high-energy performance to kickstart the night. Having reimagined Pat Benatar’s hit ‘All Fired Up’ for Paramount+, G Flip will bring the powerful track to life on the biggest stage, adding to the electric atmosphere as the Final builds.
