Matildas to play first international against Thailand in Perth

The Matildas will play their first international in Perth at NIB Stadium on March 26.

Soccer superstar and Young Australian of the Year Sam Kerr was front and centre to announce the friendly match with Thailand next month.

"I am excited to bring the Matildas to Perth. I've been nagging everyone at FFA for a while now to bring a game to Perth," Sam Kerr said.

They hope to play in front of a full house with more than 20,000 fans expected to fill NIB Stadium.

"I am proud that I can be a part of it because I though it would never happen," the midfielder said.

The match will be the Matilda's final game on home soil before jetting off to Jordan for the 2018 Asian Cup.

The team will also spend a week in Perth for a training camp.

"I want to show my team mates what I have been raving on about, I have been saying 'west coast, best coast' forever now and half of them only come here for the two hour game, so I am really excited." she said.

Local junior players will also have the chance to meet and rub shoulders with the players.

Tickets for the friendly on March 26 will go on sale tomorrow at 9am.
