Australia
The Socceroos. Australia's men's national team have been a consistent presence at World Cups since 2006, with their quarter-final run in Germany that year remaining their finest achievement. A new generation of European-based talent is pushing the Socceroos towards their next great tournament moment.
History
Australia joined the AFC in 2006 and immediately qualified for the World Cup in Germany, reaching the Round of 16 before losing narrowly to Italy. Their 2006 campaign — featuring Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka, and Tim Cahill — remains the high point of Australian men's football and sparked a generation of football enthusiasm across the country.
Australia have qualified for every World Cup since 2006 and reached the Round of 16 at Qatar 2022, defeating Denmark and drawing with France before losing to Argentina. With a squad now featuring players from Europe's top leagues including Mathew Ryan, Riley McGree, and a new generation of talent, the Socceroos are consistently competitive at the highest level of Asian and world football.
Kit History & Colours
Gold and green — the iconic colours of Australian sport worn with national pride. The Socceroos' gold home kit is one of the most recognisable in Asian football, and the combination of gold and green is synonymous with Australian sporting identity across every discipline.
Their Nike kits are popular across Australia and the wider football community, and the gold of the Socceroos carries the spirit of a nation that has embraced football as one of its major sports.
