The Socceroos will play Saudi Arabia and Bahrain in the World Cup Qualifiers.

Australia will play Saudi Arabia at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in Victoria on Thursday, November 14, and Bahrain at the Bahrain National Stadium, Riffa on Tuesday, November 19, over the November FIFA Men’s International Window.

Four games into their Third Round campaign, Australia are right now in second place in Group C with five points after defeating China PR at Adelaide Oval and drawing on the route to Japan at Saitama Stadium 2002 in October.

Max Balard (NAC Breda), who has been playing well in the Eredivisie since coming to the Netherlands in the off-season, receives his first call-up to the senior national squad. Hayden Matthews of Sydney FC will also be joining the Subway Socceroos for the first time, joining colleagues Rhyan Grant and Anthony Caceres.

Tony Popovic, head coach of the Subway Socceroos, stated that the camp offered a fresh chance to build on his team’s October achievements.

“We’re in the early stages of this journey as a group and we’ll continue to implement the style of play that will be the foundation of our success throughout this cycle,” Popovic said.

“It’s an important series of fixtures and we’re looking forward to finishing off the year on the right note, and equally, putting on a strong performance for the people of Melbourne who have shown us such great support in recent years,” Popovic concluded.
