Follow the action live as Australia take on world No.12 Mexico in a friendly at AT&T Stadium - the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. Kick-off is at 12.00pm AEST.
This match was arranged not only to give Australia a strong opponent to test themselves against, but also to get an early taste of the next World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico in 2026.
The Mexicans play a lot of games north of the border, and usually, their fans are very vocal, even away from home. The word is a crowd of around 50,000 to 60,000 people is expected for this one in Texas. After this, by the way, the Socceroos have two games in London next month - against England and New Zealand - and then begin World Cup qualifying for 2026 in November with a clash against either Bangladesh or the Maldives on November 16, and then Palestine away on November 21.Here’s how the Socceroos are lining up.
Other points of interest are the return of winger Martin Boyle, who missed the World Cup and the Socceroos’ last two international fixtures due to an ACL injury, and the midfield, where Keanu Baccus and St. Pauli teammates Jackson Irvine and Connor Metcalfe will get the first chance to impress for Australia following the recent retirement of Aaron Mooy.and will miss at least the next eight weeks, possibly longer, ruling him out of the start of the A-League season with Melbourne City.
