Australia at Risk of Missing the 2026 World Cup

The Australian national team has put its qualification for the 2026 World Cup in jeopardy after a series of disappointing results in the Asian Qualifiers. The Socceroos secured only one point from their last two matches, after losing to Bahrain and drawing 0-0 against Indonesia.

A Complicated Path

Australia had hoped to compete on equal footing with powerhouses like Saudi Arabia and Japan, but poor results in September have complicated their situation. Now, they must win their next match against China in Adelaide to stay in the World Cup race.

An Unexpected Crisis

Under Graham Arnold, Australia has not only failed to score in their last two games but has also dropped crucial points against lower-ranked teams. This leaves them outside the automatic qualification spots.

Do-or-Die Moment

The upcoming match against Japan will be critical if Australia doesn’t secure a positive result in October. The pressure is on to reverse their fortunes and secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
