The Matildas will be hoping to win their first Olympic medal when they compete at the delayed Tokyo Games over the next month.
Australia's women's team made it to the quarter-finals of the 2016 Rio Olympics after losing to Brazil on penalties.
The green and gold arrive in Japan with a relatively new coach in the form of Swede Tony Gustavsson and on the back of some mixed results.
