SWNT v Austria

SWNT - FIFA Women's World Cup Qualifier

The Scotland Women’s National Team will welcome Austria to Scotland for the first round of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup European Play-offs.

Scotland have won every previous meeting against Austria, with the two sides last playing in 2017 in the Cyprus Cup, where goals from Jane Ross, Lisa Evans and current SWNT assistant coach Leanne Ross secured a 3-1 victory.

Should Scotland progress past the Austrians they would face the Republic of Ireland in the Play-off Final, with the match again to be played at Hampden Park on 11 October.

Scotland last faced the Republic of Ireland in 2017, in what was Scotland’s final warm-up match before UEFA Women’s EURO 2017, Scotland triumphing 1-0 thanks to a Christie Murray goal.
