Whilst the Matilda's dream of winning the World Cup has come to an end, it lives on for Spain and England as they clash in the World Cup Final in Sydney on Sunday night. Let's take a look at what the weather has in store for those heading to the match. 

The final is being held at Stadium Australia, in the Sydney Olympic Park Precinct in Homebush. Over 70,000 people are expected to attend the event, with gates opening at 5:30pm, ahead of an 8pm kick off. 

Sunday morning brought brilliant blue skies to Sydney. That will be the case for much of the afternoon and for those heading in early to enjoy the atmosphere. There will be a bit of an increase in cloud cover closer to kick off, though skies will remain mostly clear. The good news is that despite some extra clouds about, it will remain dry throughout the match.

Temperatures when gates open are expected to be around 17°C, cooling to close to 13°C by kick off and around 11°C when the final whistle blows at about 10pm (unless of course the match goes into extra time). Thankfully, winds will be light throughout the evening and will not add much in the way of wind chill. 

All in all, it's close to ideal conditions for those lucky enough to be heading out to watch the match.
