Denmark are currently ranked 16th in the world and boast a host of players at some of the most prominent women’s clubs in the world.
“To open the June FIFA International Window with a match against Denmark is another important step in strengthening the team ahead of July,” said head coach Tony Gustavsson. “Denmark is an excellent team with some world-class players and, like Sweden, will give us a different match style to compete against.”
“There are only a few more opportunities to observe the squad in pressure situations against quality opposition and we want to make the most of these opportunities.”
“Since we were last together in April, I have been excited about the progress many players have made at their clubs. This match will give us the ability to build on that club progress and the work we undertook in April.”
The Matildas and Denmark have met on four occasions with their last match at the 2017 Algarve Cup, seeing a penalty shootout win for the Danes after scores were locked at 1-1 in regular time.
After the encounter with Denmark, Australia will face Sweden in Kalmar to complete their June schedule of matches.
The Matildas are grouped alongside New Zealand, Sweden and United States for the Olympic Games with their first match against Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand on July 21.
