If the Matildas make it to the World Cup final, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese intends to push for the creation of a federal public holiday. In the decisive round of 16, the Matildas will play Denmark; if they prevail, they will play either France or Morocco in the quarterfinals.
Albanese will personally request a public holiday from state and territory leaders if they make it to the grand final on August 20.
Matildas public holiday
State and territory governors decide on public holidays, but a national cabinet is anticipated next week. Leaders intend to defend their rights, each speaking after the other. The objective is to agree on public holidays.
Mr. Albanese claimed that Matilda’s fever had swept the nation and that, although being unable to attend Monday’s game owing to parliamentary business, he would be watching it with great anticipation.

According to the speaker, young boys and girls who watch the World Cup will participate in sports in 10 to 15 years, with some going on to play for the Socceroos or Matildas.
They expect that women’s team sports would draw large crowds, which is an amazing development that was unthinkable thirty years ago.
The national netball team, the Diamonds, which overnight overcame England in the World Cup final in South Africa, also received praise from Mr. Albanese. Australia will be happy to have them back. We’ve been the most prosperous netball team for a time now,” he remarked. At 8.30 p.m. in Sydney, the Matildas take on Denmark.
