This page summarises the Australia men's national soccer team fixtures and results in 2024.
Australia started the year with a friendly against Bahrain in Abu Dhabi in preparation ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup taking place in Qatar. [1] Australia won the match 2–0 thanks to an own goal by Amine Binaddi and a goal by Mitchell Duke. Welsh youth international Gethin Jones made his debut for Australia, having been born in Perth. [2]
Australia opened their Asian Cup campaign against India, beating them 2–0 with Jackson Irvine scoring first and later Jordan Bos being subbed on and scoring his first international goal. [3] In the second match they beat Syria 1–0 thanks to another goal by Irvine, guaranteeing advancement to the knockout stage. [4] In the final game, Australia drew with Uzbekistan 1–1 to finish top of their group. Martin Boyle gave them the lead after converting a controversial penalty kick at the end of the first half and Azizbek Turgunboev equalised for Uzbekistan in the second half. [5] As the top team of group B, Australia were set to face one of the third-placed teams, with their identity only being confirmed at the end of the last group stage matches, as Oman were eliminated from the tournament and Indonesia took the spot in the round of 16 match against Australia. [6] While it seemed Australia would scrape through their first knockout match, they ended up beating Indonesia 4–0 to book a quarter-final spot with the first goal scored following a shot by Irvine being deflected off Elkan Baggott into goal and awarded as an own goal. The first half ended with Boyle scoring the second goal with a header. In the second half, Craig Goodwin and Harry Souttar added a goal each to set the final score. [7] A couple of days later, their quarter-final opponent was confirmed when South Korea beat Saudi Arabia in a penalty shoot-out after equalising in second-half stoppage time. [8] Australia lost the quarter-final match to South Korea 1–2. Despite leading for most of the match following Goodwin's first-half goal, South Korea equalised in a second consecutive match during the second-half stoppage time, with Hwang Hee-chan scoring a penalty kick. In extra time, their captain Son Heung-min scored a free kick to give South Korea the victory. [9]
Having won the first two of their 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the previous year, Australia resumed the campaign, hosting Lebanon at CommBank Stadium. [10] Australia won the match 2–0 with Keanu Baccus and Kye Rowles scoring their first international goals. [11] German-based John Iredale made his debut for the senior international side, coming on as a substitute in place of Duke. [12] The away leg against Lebanon was played in Canberra, following AFC approval, due to the Israel–Hamas war. [13] Australia won the match 5–0 thanks to a brace by Goodwin, an own goal by Bassel Jradi, and maiden international goals for Kusini Yengi and Iredale. Two youngsters, Patrick Yazbek and Josh Nisbet, made their international debut. [14]
