All three matches, originally scheduled for Parrs Park in Oratia, will now be played on the stadium’s artificial pitch (Domain 3) and all will now kick off at 6pm.
The series kicks off tonight with games two and three on Wednesday and Friday.
The trans-Tasman internationals represent the first step on the Young Football Ferns’ Road to Azerbaijan, serving as a warm-up for the side’s qualification campaign for next year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. OFC qualifiers are scheduled for April next year while Australia’s qualifying path through Asia begins in November.
Coach Paul Temple has named an 18-strong squad for the matches, including two 14-year-olds and two players – Megan Lee and Hannah Carlsen – who were part of the 2010 campaign to Trinidad and Tobago.
