New Zealand Women will play their final match of the calendar year against Colombia Womenin what will be their second friendly in the space of three days. The teams played out a goalless draw in the first game and will be hoping to end the year on a winning note heading into this second friendly fixture.
Colombia are winless in friendlies since their World Cup exit at the hands of England. New Zealand beat Norway in the group stage in that tournament but that's as far as they could go. New Zealand took the win when these two teams met in the 2016 Olympics and they will be hoping to get a similar result before 2023 comes to a close.
