FIFA #24 Group D AFC AUS

Background

Australia have reached the round of 16 in three of the last six World Cups, including a memorable 2022 run under Graham Arnold that beat Denmark and Tunisia. The Socceroos have made every tournament since 2006, a five-cycle streak that quietly puts them among the most consistent AFC sides.
