(Reuters) - Australia are motivated to play at home for the first time in more than 18 months when they begin their two-match series against South American champions Brazil on Saturday, coach Tony Gustavsson said.

The Matildas, ranked 11th in the world, host world number seven Brazil on Saturday and next Tuesday at the Western Sydney Stadium as they return to action on home soil following their Olympic qualifier win over Vietnam in March 2020.
