Matildas to face Wales in historic friendly ahead of Asian Cup campaign
The match against Wales — the first between the two nations in women's football — has been scheduled for October 25 in Cardiff.
The Matildas will also face a yet-to-be-determined opponent later in FIFA's international window.
But it remains to be seen whether Sam Kerr, who has not played since tearing her ACL in January last year, will be made available for the two matches.
"We are looking to make the most of the next few FIFA women's international windows and Wales is the perfect test for the team as we have never played them before and they are a competitive side that will test our style of play," Montemurro said.
"It is important that we make the most of every opportunity together, to continually build on the relationships we are forming and setting high standards to enhance our high-performance environment."
Wales is ranked 32nd in the world.
The Welsh are yet to appear in a women's World Cup, but they did qualify for Euro 2025.
The Matildas only have two more international windows before they kick off their Asian Cup campaign against the Philippines in Perth on March 1.
Montemurro was missing a host of the squad's biggest stars during his first set of matches in charge of the Matildas earlier this year.
The Matildas were fortunate to escape with an error-riddled 3–0 win over world number 38 Slovenia in Montemurro's first match at the helm.
The result was followed up by a 1–1 draw against the same opponents.
Alarm bells were ringing when the Matildas slumped to a shock 1–0 loss to world number 56 Panama.
But a Michelle Heyman brace and Charli Grant's 91st-minute goal rescued a 3–2 win in the second match of the friendly series in West Australia.

‘If they want to sledge, that's fine': Aussies laugh off ‘not nice' Poms plot
Star bowler Scott Boland has declared England's adoption of a harder verbal edge to their attacking approach to Test cricket will have little impact on Australia when the highly-anticipated Ashes begins in 100 days in Perth. The Victorian paceman tuned into the thrilling series between England and India, with the hosts deciding after the second Test that the were being 'too nice', which led to some tense moments in the final three matches. Australia vs South Africa T20I & ODI Series | Watch every ball LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Asked if Australia would welcome a similar approach, Boland declared; 'Oh. They can do whatever they want when they are playing.' 'I think we've been pretty consistent in the way we've played since I've been in around the squad for the last four years. I think nothing much changed from how we play our cricket,' Boland said. 'Even going forward, it's just going to be whoever takes and whoever wins those big moments in the games. And I know we have got match winners with the bat or the ball. So ... if they want to sledge, that's fine. I don't think it's going to worry our guys too much.' The Victorian joined champion trio Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood as part of a four-pronged pace attack for the most recent Test in the West Indies in a rare occasion where selectors felt that was a better option than fielding spinner Nathan Lyon. While the veteran believes the chance will arise for all-fast bowling battery to convene again in Test cricket, he does not believe this will occur during the Ashes given's Lyon's nous at home and the pending availability of all-rounder Cameron Green to bowl. 'I hope so, but probably not in Australia. With our wickets, generally, Nathan is one of the best spin bowlers in the world (and) I think he can bowl in any conditions,' Boland said. 'He's probably been the glue to our bowling line-up over the last few years. And then I probably see Greenie coming back and bowling a lot more ... so that probably hurts the chances of four quicks as well.' Boland is yet to confirm with Victorian selectors which Sheffield Shield games he will play in the infancy of the summer as he readies himself for the Ashes but expects to play a couple of matches prior to the first Test in Perth. After his recent heroics in the Caribbean, which included a hattrick, he has taken a break from bowling and will not resume until later this month. But the 36-year-old believes his best is still to come, despite a remarkable career in which he has taken 62 wickets at 16.77 in 14 Tests. Statistically the best Test bowler in more than 100 years, Boland's certainty that he is the preferred reserve bowler is enabling him to focus on tailoring his preparation towards the nation's red ball matches, rather than trying to force a passage through domestic cricket. 'I'm just doing some gym and rehab and all that kind of stuff, just making sure I'm primed for ... the start of October, when we (have) got some Shield games ... and then get ready for the Ashes,' he said. 'I feel like even (though) I'm getting a little bit older, I still think my skills getting better. I'm learning how to prepare better for each series now, because it's not six months of playing cricket, it's pretty much (getting) ready for three months a year here. 'Then (it is) go again, have a bit of a break, reset, get my body good, and then go again. So even though I'm in the twilight of my career, I'm still learning about what's helping me and what's getting me to be able to perform every time.' A hero at the MCG on debut in the Boxing Day Test in 2021, he said the recent hattrick against the West Indies rated alongside that moment when it came to career highlights. While Boland would love to play every Test for the summer, he is mindful that is unlikely. But he believes the surplus of fast bowling talent will enable the Australian attack to continue to shine throughout the summer and beyond despite being in their 30s. 'I think it is going to help in the long run. We've spoken about it before, that we can ... sort of help each other's career (go for) a bit longer,' he said. 'Obviously I'm not playing as much white ball cricket over the last few years, so I feel that helps that I am bowling with the same ball all the time and I don't have to change my skills too much, whereas the other guys are playing all around the world in all different (formats). 'In the long run, it is going to help us keep going and help me keep going for as long as I can. I don't want to put a time on when I'm going to finish up. Whenever that will be will be up to the coach and the selectors. I just want to keep going and keep m bod as good as I can for as long as I can.' Elsewhere, Boland endorsed Victorian teammate Marcus Harris as Australia's opener for the Ashes, backing the left-hander for a long-awaited Test return. The 33-year-old made the most recent of his 14 Test appearances during the 2021/22 Ashes campaign, but Sam Konstas' recent struggles in red-ball cricket has created a potential vacancy at the top of the order. 'I think it's probably going to come down to whoever makes probably the most runs in the first three or four Shield games,' Boland said. 'I know there's a handful of guys you could give it to that you know are going to do well. But I'd love to see Marcus Harris back.'

AFL 2025: Collingwood coach Craig McRae on the form of captain Darcy Moore
Collingwood coach Craig McRae suspects a level of selflessness is at the core of Darcy Moore's form slump and is urging the skipper to defend first against Adelaide. Moore in form is one of the best intercept markers in the competition but has been under the spotlight in his side's four losses in five games. The premiership captain has conceded hauls of six goals twice, against Fremantle's Patrick Voss and Brisbane's Logan Morris. McRae said players like Moore, and veteran Scott Pendlebury, could be prioritising others over themselves at the eventual detriment of the team. 'I look at our game back on tape and say, 'Why are you making those decisions?', like use Pendles for example … he's the most experienced player in the competition and he's a little out of position at stoppage,' he said. 'Why is that happening? I think maybe he's trying to help others too much and I go, 'All right, you get yourself sorted and worry about others later'. 'Maybe Darcy is a bit the same, he's looking around making sure everyone else is in the spot – no get your job done first and lead from the front. 'Trying to find the reasons why we're making some of these decisions is challenging but there's a level of, 'Get your job done first, then worry about others'. 'I think we're really good at this at our best, so we're looking to get back to our best.' McRae sits down with Moore weekly to assess his performance and how he can better the Magpies. He says Collingwood's system wobble over the past five weeks stretches beyond Moore and will stop at no player to find that previous winning formula. 'You could probably make the case for a lot … I am watching footage with Darcy this week and the week before on what things he can do better,' he said. 'In particular, his marking is as good as anyone in the competition. I don't want to make it a one-person thing, but you've got to do your job in those systems to make others better. 'We have weekly catch-ups, so this is not something unusual. I am standing here wanting to get better for our fans, we want to put on a show for them. 'We're not going to stand still in our want to grow and whether that's the captain, whether it's me, whether it's someone in our environment.'
