Thousands braved rain and cold to watch Matildas secure victory

There are a range of live sites where fans can gather to watch the match with hundreds of other supporters on the big screen, including the official FIFA Fan Festivals in each of the tournament’s Australian host cities.

In Sydney, the Fan Festival is at Tumbalong Park, while Melbourne’s is at Federation Square, Brisbane’s is at South Bank, Adelaide’s at Festival Plaza and Perth’s is held at Forrest Place.

Elsewhere, local councils will hold live sites of their own, while the AFL has ticked off on showing the match on big screens at the MCG before the clash at the ground between Carlton and Melbourne so fans with tickets to the latter can still watch the quarter-final.
