The Qantas Under 23s and the Matildas will face New Zealand's Men's and Women's Olympic Football teams at North Sydney Oval on Saturday 12 July.

This will be the first opportunity for football fans to see the Qantas Under 23 team that will head to China for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games after the final squad is announced in Sydney earlier in July. They will meet the New Zealand Under 23 Men's team which is also Beijing-bound, having come through Oceania qualification undefeated.

The Matildas will provide essential match practice for the New Zealand Women's team, the Football Ferns, as they also head off to Beijing. While the Matildas fell narrowly to North Korea in the final qualifying stage, the Football Ferns, qualified for the Olympic Games after defeating Papua New Guinea 2-0 in a play-off in March.

The double header kick's off at 12 noon when the Matildas meet the New Zealand Women's Football team, with the Qantas Under 23s going head to head with the New Zealand Under 23 Men's Football team at 2.00pm.

Ticket's for both matches are on sale from today from Ticketek, via the internet, over the phone, at outlets or at the ground on match day.
