FIFA news: Final 26-man Socceroos World Cup squad named
SEN • June 1st, 2026 8:51 am
Australian head coach Tony Popovic has finalised his 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Socceroos have named Cristian Volpato in the roster that will take on Turkey, host nation USA and Paraguay in Group D.
Popovic said: “We are delighted to finally announce the 26 players who will represent the Socceroos at the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
“A range of factors has gone into selecting this final World Cup squad. Some difficult decisions had to be made – that’s the nature of major tournaments. But it’s also a credit to all the players involved over the past few weeks who worked extremely hard during an extended and challenging pre-camp.
“I’d like to acknowledge the players who contributed to our direct World Cup qualification but are not part of this squad. Their contribution should not be forgotten.
“Our focus now shifts to finalising our preparations for the upcoming friendly against Switzerland and for our World Cup group matches.”
