Matildas lock in April friendly against Mexico - but you won't believe the venue as Tony Gustavsson's squad prepare for two-legged Olympic qualifiers against Uzbekistan

The Matildas are locked into play Mexico in April - with the clash to be staged on neutral territory in San Antonio.

If Tony Gustavsson's side beat Uzbekistan later this month in a two-legged play-off for a spot at this year's Olympics, the match against the Latin Americans in the US will be crucial ahead of the Games in Paris come July 26.

Gustavsson said he was excited to face the world No.35 team.

'When I started with the Matildas we identified the need to continue challenging ourselves against different types of styles, opponents and experiencing high quality matches that allows us to strive to get one day better,' he said.
