CommBank Socceroos forward Mat Leckie speaks to media from Australia’s FIFA World Cup 2026™ base camp at Oakland Roots/Soul Training Facility in Alameda, California.
Selected for a joint-record fourth FIFA World Cup with Australia, Leckie discusses the squad’s new home in camp, his role as one of the senior players, helping the first-time World Cup players settle, his fitness after an injury-interrupted period, and why the Socceroos believe they can build on their historic run in Qatar.
The veteran forward also reflects on the team’s preparation, the balance of youth and experience in the squad, and his readiness to contribute wherever Tony Popovic needs him.
