Tony Popovic, the coach of the Australian national team, relies on the same names that imposed a draw on Paraguay against the Egyptian national team in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup.
The Egyptian national team will meet Australia at 9 PM at Dallas Stadium to determine the identity of the qualifier for the round of 16.
The Australian coach made no changes to his team's lineup that imposed a goalless draw on Paraguay at the end of the group stage.
The Australian national team had previously announced the end of the World Cup journey for players Jacob Italiano and Mathew Leckie due to injury, and their return to Australia to complete treatment.
The lineup of the Australian national team was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Patrick Beach
Defense: Alessandro Circati – Harry Souttar – Lucas Herrington
Midfield: Aziz Behich – Jackson Irvine - Aiden O'Neill – Jordan Bos
Attack: Cristian Volpato – Nestory Irankunda – Connor Metcalfe
On the bench: Mathew Ryan – Paul Izzo – Milos Degenek – Jason Geria – Cameron Burgess – Kai Trewin – Cameron Devlin – Paul Akon Englestr – Ajdin Hrustic – Awer Mabil – Nishan Velupillay – Mohamed Toure – Tete Yengi.
The Australian national team qualified, occupying second place in Group D behind the USA with 4 points.
The winner of this match will advance to the round of 16 and will meet the winner of the Argentina vs. Cape Verde match next Tuesday.
