Always there, always punching above their weight
Australia have qualified for every World Cup since 2006. The Socceroos are not a glamour pick but they always do something memorable — see Qatar 2022 and the round-of-16 run that ended with a brave defeat to Argentina.
The design
Golden home colours with rich green trim built around a clear Socceroos identity. The Nike 2026 release tightens the cut and brightens the gold slightly. Green collar, green sleeve cuffs, and a small kangaroo-and-emu crest sitting central.
Who to watch
Mat Ryan still pulling off goalkeeper-of-the-tournament saves, Jackson Irvine running the midfield with that long bandana energy, and Harry Souttar dominant in the air at the back. The squad is older but it knows how to win the close ones.
Why you should care
Group D with USA, Paraguay and a playoff winner is winnable for second place. The Australia gold kit is one of the most iconic palettes in World Cup history — buy it for the photos alone.
