US EditionSocceroos v Colombia LIVE Updates: Australia Take on Colombia at Citi Field, New York in International Friendly
Coach Tony Popovic tests squad depth and goalkeeper options as Australia prepares for the 2026 World Cup with a final 2025 friendly against Colombia, ranked No.13 globally.
- The Socceroos begin their final 2025 fixture with a friendly against Colombia in Queens, New York, at 12.30pm AEDT, covered only on Paramount+.
- After the Venezuela defeat, Australia must improve to get a result against Colombia, who qualified for next year's World Cup as the third-placed CONMEBOL team.
- Five changes see Tony Popovic name an experienced XI with Paul Izzo in goal, Maty Ryan on the bench, Jackson Irvine partnering Aiden O'Neill and wearing the armband, while Kye Rowles, Connor Metcalfe, and Riley McGree fill tactical roles and Nestory Irankunda is omitted.
- With just nine wins from 49 matches, the Australia national team has never beaten the Colombia national team, highlighting a difficult record against South American opposition.
- As a corrective test, the friendly offers a chance to rebound after Popovic called the Venezuela loss his worst in a year, refusing to mark the John Aloisi 20-year anniversary.
