Australian Parliament House’s façade will be sporting green and gold this Sunday and Monday night with a striking illumination to show support for our mighty Matildas in the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The President of the Senate, the Hon. Sue Lines and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Milton Dick MP are proud to be supporting the FIFA Women’s World Cup by illuminating the nation’s parliament.

“We are delighted to shine the light on women’s sport. The Matildas are wonderful role models for our next generation of athletes and Parliament House will be cheering them on when they play Monday night,” says President Sue Lines.

“Sport has always had a way of uniting Australians, and the Matildas are part of this history. And what better way to recognise this, than by lighting up our iconic Australian Parliament House,” says Speaker Milton Dick.

The green and gold illumination of Parliament House for the Matildas will be on Sunday 6 August and Monday 7 August from 5.45pm to midnight.

All are welcome to come along to the Parliament House forecourt and show your support for Australia’s Matildas!
