Australia is off to a hot start in the World Cup after a 2-0 win against Türkiye and will face a huge test against the host nation, the United States, on Friday, June 19th at 12 pm Pacific Time.
The switch from manager Graham Arnold to Tony Popovic looks to have reinvigorated the Aussies, and they’ll be a major challenge for the US.
That said, here’s a full list of Australia’s squad and the clubs represented by each of the 26 players competing in the World Cup.

Manager Tony Popovic Comments on the Win
Tony Popovic certainly has his squad ready to compete and made some comments after the 2-0 win.
“An outstanding defensive display from the whole squad, the players that came on as well. Very resilient, desperate around the box, putting their bodies on the line, and that’s what’s required to win a game in the World Cup. Regardless of who you’re playing, it’s the World Cup, so everything is difficult. We kept that focus, we kept our discipline and concentration, and Patrick had to make some saves. He was wonderful as well, a young keeper.”
Popovic also knows it could be a shock to many about Australia’s performance, but the win doesn’t surprise his squad.
“They were maybe shocks for a lot of people, but not shocks within our playing group or staff. Because we’re all working together every day, and we can see the quality of these young boys. We’ve got Mo Toure, Nestory, Junior – Okon, Patrick Beach, and many more. It’s a team selected to perform well. You never know the result, of course. We’re at a World Cup, but for me, it’s the performance. The result is the satisfaction and the outcome. But, regardless of the result, it was the right decision.”
