Football history: The Socceroos have qualified for every World Cup since 2006 — six tournaments in a row. The 2006 'Golden Generation' under Hiddink reached the round of 16. Australia switched from Oceania to the Asian confederation in 2006, easing qualification but raising the competitive ceiling.
Current coach: Tony Popovic (since 2024)
Key player to watch: Mathew Ryan — veteran goalkeeper and captain, the team's most-capped active player.
Best World Cup result: Round of 16 — 2006 (Germany) and 2022 (Qatar)

Where does Australia play at the 2026 World Cup?: Australia is in Group D for the 2026 World Cup, hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Use the XI builder above to assemble your projected Australia starting eleven.
Can I build my own Australia World Cup squad?: Yes — the Golazo XI builder lets you pick any 11 from the full Australia pool, set a formation, and share an image of your lineup. No sign-up required.
Is the Australia squad final?: The pool reflects the current player data we have on file and is updated as call-ups and form change in the run-up to the tournament. You can always re-pick your XI as the official squad is announced.
