England's Lionesses welcome Australia to Brentford on Tuesday 11th April at 7:45pm for an Alzheimer’s Society International game before the Socceroos travel to take on the men’s side at Wembley Stadium on Friday 13 October.
The high-profile women’s fixture against the Matildas will raise vital funds and awareness. It follows on from the men’s game which was dedicated to the same good cause last year after the Football Association announced a two-year charity partnership with Alzheimer’s Society back in August 2021.
Last year's event saw Luke Shaw and Harry Kane help the men to a 2-1 win over Switzerland at Wembley for the first Alzheimer’s Society International fixture. Markedly in the second half, the Three Lions re-entered the pitch without names on the back of their shirts, highlighting how people with dementia often experience memory loss.
