One of Australia’s most lavish penthouses has undergone a rare makeover – and it’s something football fans will really appreciate.

One of Australia’s most lavish penthouses has undergone a rare makeover in celebration of the Fifa Women’s World Cup.

The luxury two-level penthouse at The Star Sydney has been transformed into a football fan’s paradise with the world’s first ever Matildas-themed suite.

Everything from the ceiling to floor has been meticulously curated to pay homage to Australia’s national women’s team.

Styled in striking green and gold, a giant four metre long Matildas scarf hangs above the suite’s shelves, filled with football themed ornaments and books charting the history of the CommBank Matildas.
