Current Squad / Roster

Australia is one of the teams from the AFC to make it to the FIFA World Cup. The team secured a spot in the final 32 as they saw off Peru in a one-leg inter-confederation playoff game. It was an epic game that both teams gave their all, but the Aussies were the better side at the end of the day.

With Australia in another world cup, we expect another fine display like we saw the last time they made it to the competition. Australia is an exciting team to watch, and they would be ready to compete against some of the top teams in the world.

Australia FIFA World Cup Future Odds

Australia’s FIFA World Cup odds of winning the competition is +25000, which is high and nearly impossible to beat. The team would need to be better than we expected. However, you can try other Australia betting options for the competition. You can go for winning the group or advancing from Group D.

The team’s odds of winning one of the FIFA World Cup Groups is +1000. Their odds of advancing from the group are +225 for yes and -300 for no because there is a higher chance of them not making it out of the group, given the top teams in the group.

FIFA World Cup Australia’s Record

Australia’s FIFA World Cup betting stats show that the team has appeared five times, the first coming in 1974 after starting their qualification campaign for the competition in 1966. Their first appearance at the tournament didn’t go well, as they didn’t score a single goal throughout. However, they could secure one point when they drew against Chile.

After 1974, the team’s next appearance was in 2006, when they could make it to the round of 16. Unfortunately, they lost to a 90+5-minute penalty scored by Francesco Totti. In 2010, they didn’t do as well as in 2006. For the 2014 and 2018 campaigns, the team couldn’t get any wins from their six matches in both years.

Historical Events

Australia stats show that the team’s most historical moment came in 2006 when they made it all the way to the round of 16, and they held their ground against the eventual winners. The team beat Japan in the first game, lost to Brazil, and drew against Croatia to secure a place in the knockout rounds.

However, after 90 minutes of football against Italy, they conceded a penalty that ended their campaign in Germany.

Their best performance in the competition was when they got to the round of 16 in 2006. They haven’t been able to make it to the knockout round since 2006, and we believe the team would want to push to go further as they make it to their fifth consecutive world cup competition.

Australia has not had too many top-class players in its history. However, a few have positively impacted the country’s history at the World Cup. The most notable play from Australia is Tim Cahill. He made four world cup appearances for the team and is still the highest goalscoring player in the country’s history.

Australia’s Fun Facts in the Previous World Cups

Australia’s 2006 world cup performance is among the best of any team from the AFC/OFC confederation. A fun fact about the team came in 2014 when they conceded three goals in each of their ties throughout the group stages. It was the only time they didn’t get a single point from the competition.

Team Squad for the 2022 World Cup

Graham Arnold would be leading the team to the FIFA World Cup. He already set up a formidable team to make it through the qualification rounds and the Inter-Confederation playoffs. The team went through tough matches, but eventually, they would be part of the 32 teams going to the FIFA World Cup.

Expected FIFA World Cup Team Roster

The Australia World Cup team roster should have most of the players that helped the team make it to the FIFA World Cup. We don’t expect world-class players, but they would be ready to help their country as best as they can throughout their run at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

World Cup Schedule

Australia is one of the teams in Group D. Their FIFA World Cup schedule will see them play France, Tunisia, and Denmark, some of the best teams in Europe. Therefore, they won’t have the luxury of being complacent if they want to make it out of the competition. The team would have to push the boundaries and do the unthinkable.

Their first match would be against France, the defending champions and one of the favorites to win the competition. France is a team with talented players, and they would be a team to play. After that, they would face Tunisia, another top team in the group, before facing Denmark for their final FIFA World Cup group game.
