CommBank Socceroos Head Coach Tony Popovic speaks to the media in Sydney in his first press conference back home since the FIFA World Cup 2026™, with Australia set to face Brazil in Queensland later this month.
Popovic reflects on Australia’s World Cup campaign, the disappointment of the Round of 32 penalty shootout defeat to Egypt, and the lessons the squad can take from competing on football’s biggest stage.
The Head Coach also discusses the continued evolution of the team, the development of Australia’s young players, the importance of more Socceroos playing regular football at a higher level, the upcoming Asian Cup, and the opportunity to test the group against five-time World Cup winners Brazil.
