THE Carlton Football Club can confirm the Matildas quarter-final clash against France will be streamed live for fans attending the MCG tonight.
Gates will now open an hour earlier at 4:30pm, to allow fans already coming to the AFL game the chance to take their seats prior to the Matildas’ kick off at 5pm.
The game will be broadcast on the big screens at the ground until the end of regulation time.

This will allow all fans to support the Matildas at the MCG, prior to the Blues’ blockbuster clash against the Demons.
“We approached all relevant parties with the idea earlier this week, and we thank them for their cooperation, it is terrific we have been able to get this over the line,” Carlton CEO Brian Cook said.
“Carlton members and supporters will be there in full voice as we take on the Demons at our home game tonight, so to give fans coming to the game the chance to arrive early and support the Matildas at the same time, it just makes sense and is the right thing to do.
“We look forward to what will be a special atmosphere, at an MCG that will be covered in green, gold and Navy Blue.”
