MATCH Hospitality Asia brings fans closer to the action with the launch of the Official Hospitality Packages 

SYDNEY, Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today - November 21st - marks 100 days to go until the AFC Women's Asian Cup Australia 2026™ - Asia's flagship women's football competition, bringing together the continent's top 12 national teams, including the host nation team Matildas, to compete for one of the most prestigious titles in world football.

MATCH Hospitality Asia is marking the moment with the launch of its hospitality offering, giving fans their first opportunity to secure Official Hospitality experiences for the tournament.

The tournament comes at a time when women's football is experiencing extraordinary global acceleration.

Kimberley Byrom, Brand Director at MATCH Hospitality, said: "We have witnessed first-hand the explosive growth of women's football globally, having delivered the Official Hospitality Programme at the last 4 consecutive FIFA World Cup tournaments, with the most recent edition hosted in Australia & New Zealand reaching record-breaking attendance levels. Rising global spectator levels and deeper fan engagement in the sport show a clear momentum and we have seen a growing appetite for premium match-day experiences. We expect a strong demand again in Australia for the AFC Women's Asian Cup Australia 2026™ and look forward to delivering a world-class experience to our guests."

Official Hospitality boasts exclusive benefits including priority stadium access, an entertainment programme and elevated, all-inclusive, dining experiences from street-food offerings and bento boxes to multi-course menus and live cooking presentations, delivered with outstanding service and dedicated hosting.

"It's no longer just corporate guests in hospitality suites," Byrom said. "We have seen a significant shift, with more families seeking exceptional service and elevated experiences at major sporting events, and we expect this trend to be especially strong for Matildas matches next year."
