CommBank Socceroos Head Coach Tony Popovic will address the media on the eve of his departure for the United States to commence preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
The Socceroos kick-off their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign in 40 days, against Türkiye in Vancouver on June 13 (June 14 AEST). Drawn in Group D, the Socceroos will also face tournament co-hosts the United States in Seattle (June 19) and Paraguay at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in Santa Clara (June 25).
The Socceroos will hold a World Cup pre-camp in Sarasota, Florida, before relocating to Los Angeles for a friendly match against co-hosts Mexico at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on May 30.
Oakland, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, will then become home for the Socceroos, with the Oakland Roots/Soul Training Facility – located on Bay Farm Island in Alameda – serving as the official Base Camp training site during the tournament.
The Socceroos’ final 26-player FIFA World Cup 2026™ squad is due to be announced on June 1.
Popovic will use the Sarasota camp to assess an extended number of players in a train-on squad, before selecting his selection.
