The Matildas Olympics campaign has ended in disappointment, being bundled out in the group stage after defeat to the USA.
It came after poor defensive performances in a loss to Germany and a madcap win over Zambia, and Australia will now have much soul searching to do after an underwhelming campaign.
The Sporting News has all the details on when the Matildas are back in action.

When is the Matildas' next match?
The Matildas are booked in for two friendlies in Europe across the October FIFA Women's International Window.
The first match is yet to be confirmed, while the second will be against Olympic bronze medallists Germany, a team Australia lost to in the group stage in Paris.
