Australia has officially qualified for the knockout stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Socceroos’s had moments of brilliance in their 0-0 draw against Paraguay, but will have to go one step better when they head to Dallas for their do-or-die match.
Here’s what’s coming for the green and gold.
When is Australia’s next World Cup match?
This is the easy part.
Australia will play on Saturday, July 4, at 4am (AEST).
The game will be played in Dallas.
Who is Australia playing in its next World Cup match?
Here’s where it gets a bit murky.
Australia will play the second-placed team from Group G.
Right now that could be any one of Egypt, Iran, Belgium or New Zealand.
Egypt currently tops the group with four points, ahead of Iran and Belgium on two, and New Zealand on one.
New Zealand play Belgium and Egypt play Iran, both at 1pm tomorrow (AEST).
At the moment you would suspect Belgium or Egypt are the most likely candidates.
