The Matildas will warm up for next year's Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualifiers with friendlies against Chile in Adelaide and Sydney.

Australia will prepare for next year's Olympic qualifiers with friendlies against Chile in Adelaide and Sydney this November.

The Matildas are set to host the South Americans in their first matches on home soil since this year's World Cup in France.

The two games will act as warm-ups for the qualifiers starting in February to secure a spot in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

The first match at Bankwest Stadium on November 9 will be the first appearance by an Australian national sporting team at the Parramatta-based venue.

Their trip to Coopers Stadium on November 12 is the Matildas' first appearance in South Australia since 2006.

Australia will join China, Taiwan, Myanmar, North Korea, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam for one of the two remaining spots from Asia for next year's women's football tournament at the Olympics, with Japan already qualified as hosts.
