Australia has been in several FIFA World Cups, but they have never progressed beyond the group stage. In the 2006 World Cup, they were knocked out in the group stage after losing to Brazil and drawing with Croatia and Japan. In the 2010 World Cup, they finished 3rd in their group behind Germany and Ghana, progressing to the Round of 16, where they lost to Serbia. They failed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup and are currently ranked 43rd by FIFA. The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar.
Australia will be hoping to finally reach the knockout stages of the World Cup in 2022. The squad is currently being built around experienced players like Joel King and Keanu Baccus, while they have several young players who are performing strongly at the club level. Here’s a look at their squad for the upcoming tournament.
