Australia

The story of the Australia national soccer team began with their very first international match in 1922. They have been awarded 4 Nations Cup titles, in the years 1980, 1996, as well as the 2004 Asian Cup in 2015. They have not been crowned their place in the FIFA World Cup, with their most impressive performance coming from finishing in the Round of 16 in 2006.

It was the first time that an Australia nation-wide team formed in 1922, for an overseas visit to New Zealand, which included two losses and an draw. Over the next three decades, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa became regular opponents in tours (exhibition) match. In that time, Australia also played Canada and India in their tour from Australia between 1924 and 1938, respectively. Australia had their worst loss on the 30th of June in 1951 when they fell 17-0 to an on-tour England team. Australia was given the chance to play in the international arena in the first major international competition as host for the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. However, a weak team resulted in the team's poor performance. Since the introduction of low-cost flights, Australia began to diversify its opponents. But, its location played a significant role in the direction of its future throughout the following 30 years. Australia was the winner of its 1967 South Vietnam Independence Cup against seven other nations, however this was not widely recognized domestically.

After not qualifying as a team for FIFA World Cup in 1966 and 1970, while losing in play-offs against North Korea and Israel respectively, Australia finally appeared at their first World Cup in West Germany in 1974. After securing one draw against Chile and losing to East Germany and West Germany The team comprised from mostly players who were amateurs, was eliminated at conclusion of the opening round, coming the bottom of their groups, without scoring one goal. It would turn out to be the final appearance for this Australian squad until after the World Cup tournament returned to Germany over 30 years later in. For the next 40 years that followed, over a 40-year period, the Australian team was famous for its haphazard failures when it tried to be a part of at the World Cup; they lost play-offs in 1966 against North Korea, 1970 to Israel 1986 to Scotland 1994 to Argentina 1997 and to Iran then 2002, to Uruguay.

The team's previous poor performance during World Cup competition was not evident in their performance against powerful European as well as South American sides. in 1988, Australia beat World Champions Argentina 4-1 at the Australian Bicentennial Gold Cup. The year 1997 was the same. Australia played world champions Brazil at 0-0 during the stage of group play. They later defeated Uruguay by 1-0 in the semi-finals in order to make it to finals in the FIFA Confederations Cup Final. In 2001, following an impressive win over reigning World Champions France at the Group Stage, Australia finished the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup in third spot after defeating Brazil with a 1-0 victory in the third-place tie-breaker. Australia won against England by 3-1 in West Ham's Boleyn Ground on the night of 2003 when Wayne Rooney made his international debut.

In the beginning of in 2005 it was announced the Football Federation Australia had entered discussions with to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and to end a nearly 40-year relationship in the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC). A lot of commentators and fans including football broadcaster, and also former Australian captain Johnny Warren, felt that the only option to allow Australia to move forward was to quit Oceania. On March 13 it was announced that the AFC executive committee took the decision in unanimity to accept an invitation from Australia to be a member of the AFC. When Australia's OFC executive committee had unanimously supported the move of Australia, FIFA approved the move on June 30, 2005. Australia became a member of Asia and the move was set to take beginning on January 1, 2006, but prior to that, Australia had to compete to be a contender for a World Cup position as an OFC member.

After a highly successful performance, Australia made the first steps towards qualifying to participate in the 2006 World Cup. Following the announcement that the team's coach Frank Farina stood down from the position following Australia's disappointing performance in the 2005 Confederations Cup, Guus Hiddink was named the new coach of the national team. Australia was ranked 49th. They will then take on the 18th ranked Uruguay in another match from the 2001 qualifying play-off in order to earn the chance to participate at this year's World Cup. After a win in a friendly game against Jamaica the first match of the play-off competition was defeated (1-0) and the second leg scheduled to take place by Australia four days after in Sydney on the 16th of November.

The second stage of the play-off qualifying was played in the presence of 82,698 fans at Stadium Australia. Australia was ahead Uruguay in the 90th minute 1-0 after a goal from Mark Bresciano in the first half. The aggregate was even, and the game was extended. There was no scoring after two extra time, and the game was sent to an extra shootout. Australia took the shootout (4-2) and made Australia the first team to make it to the World Cup via a penalty shootout. Australian goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer made two saves and John Aloisi scoring the winning penalty to qualify for the World Cup, Australia's first qualification in over 32 years.

Australia entered in the 2006 World Cup as the second most ranked team. However, their rankings significantly improved over the following months, after several exhibition games against teams with high profile, including an 1-1 draw with the Netherlands and a 1-0 victory at the sold out 100,000 capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground against the then European champions Greece. In this year's World Cup, Australia was put in Group F together with Japan, Croatia and defending champions Brazil. In their first group match, Australia defeated Japan 3-1 in the first group game, with Tim Cahill scoring two goals (84' 90') and John Aloisi scoring one (90 2') in the final eight minutes. Their goals were a landmark and were the first scored by the men's soccer team at the World Cup and it was also the first win for an Oceania team at World Cups, as well because all three goals were scored in the final seven minutes in the match that was never played in the course of a World Cup match. Australia faced Brazil during their first game of the group that Australia was defeated by Brazil by 2-0. Australia played Croatia in their final match. Its final result (2-2) could ensure that Australia advance to the 16th round which they lost out of the tournament following an 1-0 loss to final champions Italy after the defender was penalized for a controversial decision during the 90th minute. The defeat was the ending of Hiddink's tenure as the nation's coach.

Pim Verbeek's baffling decision to not play a recognized striker saw Australia defeat 4-1. Verbeek was heavily criticized for his play, and SBS (Australia's World Cup broadcaster) chief soccer analyst Craig Foster calling for his immediate removal. Australia's second group game against Ghana was an 1-1 draw, the third and final match in the group against Serbia was an 2-1 victory. The loss of Australia to Germany was a snub in the stage of group play. Pim Verbeek resigned coaching the Australian manager at the conclusion of 2010's World Cup and was soon replaced by Holger Osieck.

In 2010 Australia had qualified for their third AFC Asian Cup, topping their qualifying group. The success of their campaign during the 11th AFC Asian Cup saw Australia be runners-up against Japan losing to Japan in the final 1-0 after extra time.

In his first match as Australia's manager, a friendly game in the midst of a friendly match against Costa Rica, Australia won by 1-0 thanks to an assist from Tim Cahill.

In this year's World Cup, Australia were assigned to Group B along with the current Cup holders Spain and the runners-up in the 2010 tournament Netherlands as well as Chile. Their opening game got not a great startafter they lost two goals in the first 15 minutes by Alexis Sanchez and Jorge Valdivia. However, despite a goal scored by Tim Cahill that inspired a post-match revival from Postecoglou's side the team ultimately lost in the final to Chile 3-1. The second game in the match against Netherlands Netherlands was a tight one but they lost with a loss of 3-2 which led to their early exile together with their fellow Spanish team. Australian supporters praised the team for their impressive performance in the midst of a challenging group.

After Australia was selected to play in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Ange Postecoglou quit his post as coach. The former coach of the Netherlands national team, Bert van Marwijk, was appointed his successor. On March 8, 2018 following van Marwijk's initial team announcement following his first squad announcement, it was announced by the FFA confirmed the fact that Graham Arnold will take the coaching position from this year's FIFA World Cup until the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Eventually, they failed to claim the trophy.

As per detail below.

Australian match broadcasts are carried on Paramount and on free-to-air by Network 10.

The coverage previously provided was via Fox Sports (2018-2021), Ten network with the 10-channel Bold channel. ABC, SBS until 2016 and Nine on its 9Go! channel (2016-2017).

The national team has established record ratings on both free-to-air and subscription television. The final 2006 World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay was the most watched program on SBS history, with an audience in excess of 3.4 million viewers. Likewise, the 2010 World Cup qualifying match against Uzbekistan was the record-breaking match for the largest audience for subscription television that averaged 431,000 viewers. In 2015, the Asian Cup Final against South Korea was watched by a total audience in excess of 5.3 million Australians in all.

The first Australia jersey was blue, with a an hoop of maroon on the socks. The colours are representative of state flags of New South Wales and Queensland and Queensland. The design reminded us of the Australian national strip of the time. The team wore a mostly light blue uniform until 1924, when they switched to gold and gold with green.

Australia has worn a yellow jersey typically with shorts that are green and yellow socks from the 1960s. The color of socks changed throughout the 1970s, 80s and 1990s, changing from white to the exact green as the shorts. They also changed to the same yellow hue that the shirt. The uniqueness of the uniform is precisely the mix of colors used even though the flag of the country includes the colors blue white, red, and blue however, the uniforms are based on hues of yellow and green. This is because, unlike other national teams that draw their colors from the flag however, the Australian team chooses to base the colours of the most common plant native to the country the acacia plant with its green leaves and yellow flowers.

The team's current away kit is a turquoise shirt that has a gold stripes on the right and left sides of the shirt, with the coat of arms is placed over navy-colored background. It's paired with navy shorts (also featuring the golden stripes) as well as turquoise socks. The Australian kits were made by various companies, such as Umbro, Adidas, KingRoo and, since 2004, by Nike.

Instead of showing the logo instead of the logo Football Australia, Australia's jersey typically displays an emblem of Australia on one breast on the left. The first time the team wore the traditional yellow and green colors in 1924. The 1994 World Cup kits were produced by Adidas like the other national team kits during the tournament and with Adidas as the sponsor of the tournament. However, the kits included Umbro logos, as a result of Umbro's Australian relationship in the period. Nike extended the kit maker contract together with FFA over a period of 11 years, and gave them the rights to create national kits up to 2022. In the run-up to this year's World Cup, the new kit that would wear by the players were revealed. The new kits featured an unadorned yellow shirt, with a collar of green as well as simple dark green shorts, and white socks, in a nod of the 1974 Socceroos. The front of the neck included the phrase "We Socceroos can do the impossible" The quote was from Peter Wilson, the captain of the 1974 Australian team. The kit was well-received. In March of this year, FFA revealed the new Socceroos kit, which included yellow jerseys along with yellow shorts and green socks. The new kit was said to be in line of the FIFA directive that required every national side to wear uniform shirts and shorts. The kit was met with public outrage, due primarily to the change in colour of the shorts, from the traditional green to the yellow.

The nickname for Australia, "Socceroos", was invented in 1967 by Sydney journalist Tony Horstead in his coverage of the team's tour of goodwill through South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It is used frequently by the Australian citizens and the nation's governing body called the FFA. The name is a symbol of a social tendency to use colloquialisms within the country. It also signifies an Australian English use of the sport's name.

The name is similar to the majority of Australian national representative nicknames for teams; they are used casually when talking about the team in the media, or in conversations. In addition, the name originates from a well-known symbol of Australia and, in this instance the Kangaroo. Both soccer and kangaroo are combined to form an evocative word called soccer-roo for example. Olyroos to refer to an Australia Olympic soccer squad as well as Hockeyroos in reference to an Australian National women's team in hockey.

Australia's longest-running rivals are its neighbours from the Trans-Tasman region New Zealand. The history of the two teams goes back to 1922 when they first met on their respective international debuts. This rivalry among the Socceroos as well as New Zealand's All Whites (New Zealand) is part of a larger friendly rivalry between neighbors Australia as well as New Zealand, which applies not just to sports but also to the cultural aspects of both countries. The rivalry was heightened during the time that Australia both New Zealand were both members of the OFC which regularly played at OFC Nations Cup finals and in FIFA World Cup qualifications, in which only one team from the OFC qualified for qualifying for the World Cup. Since Australia quit its membership in the OFC and joined in the AFC since 2006, the competition between the two teams has become less frequent. But the rivalry between both teams is not going away and matches that do happen getting a lot of media and public focus.

Following its accession to with the AFC, Australia began to create a fierce rivalry to its fellow Asian powerful Japan. The rivalry started at the 2006 World Cup, where the two nations were joined. The rivalry continued , with both countries regularly interacting at different AFC events such as 2011, the Asian Cup final and qualification for the 2010 2018 as well as 2022 World Cups.

Another significant rival within Asia has to be South Korea, who Australia faced at the three World Cup qualification campaigns in the 1970s. They have since joining the AFC they have played regularly including the triumph of Australia during the 2015 Asian Cup final.

The primary supporter group for the Australian national team is Socceroos Active Support (SAS). SAS was formed in January 2015 as an autonomous group that uses social media to organize and stay in touch. SAS replaced the previous actively-operating support group Terrace Australis, who were created in 2013 by Football Federation Australia and fans in 2013 during the 2014. World Cup qualification campaign. The group was formed as a result of low off-field activity and insufficient participation from the community. Before, the advent of Terrace Australis saw the Green and Gold Army take away its position as a center for support and active participation, which it been claiming since its inception since 2001. Following its year 2015 AFC Asian Cup triumph, the players had encouraged the those in Australia to concentrate more towards the team of the nation and to be proud of the soccer team of Australia.

Australia has no designated national stadium, but the team has a variety of locations across the country, for either exhibition or tournament events. In recent years, the biggest international matches are usually moved around several large stadiums which include Stadium Australia in Sydney, Hunter Stadium in Newcastle and Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. International games have also been held at Melbourne Cricket Ground and Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in Melbourne as well as Canberra Stadium in Canberra.

Australia traditionally played in historically played at the Gabba in Brisbane where Australia played its first ever home-soil-based international match on June 9 in 1923. Other venues that have regularly hosted international home games are Olympic Park Stadium in Melbourne and Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney Sports Ground, Sydney Showground, Sydney Football Stadium in Sydney and Subiaco Oval in Perth.

In England The Socceroos were also able to play numerous "home" games before on Craven Cottage in Fulham (Fulham Football Club's home stadium) as well as Loftus Road, in Shepherd's Bush (Queens Park Rangers the home of Queens Park Rangers) due to the fact that there's an extensive Australian expatriate community living in West London, and that many of the senior team plays on European leagues.
