Australia goalkeeper Paul Izzo speaks to media from the Oakland Roots/Soul Training Facility in Alameda, California as preparations continue for Australia’s FIFA World Cup 2026™ opener against Türkiye.
After making his senior international debut last year, Izzo reflects on his rapid rise into a World Cup squad, the sacrifices made by his family and friends, and what it means to represent Australia on football’s biggest stage.
The goalkeeper also discusses his relationship with Tony Popovic, the standards required at international level, his bond with Mohamed Toure, the strength of Australia’s goalkeeping group, and the belief building within the squad ahead of the tournament.
