The CommBank Matildas are an inspiration to Australians young and old. The barriers they have stared down, and their never-say-die attitude, resonates strongly with millions of fans.
Two of those fans were lucky enough to meet their heroes during the week thanks to the Starlight Children's Foundation and Make-A-Wish Australia.
16-year-old Ella is a massive CommBank Matildas fan who is currently fighting acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), which is a type of blood cancer.
Katie from Tasmania also got to meet the squad in Perth. The 15-year-old was diagnosed at birth with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which severely impacts her ability to play her favourite sport – football.
