Streamed exclusively on Paramount+, the Subway Socceroos will then face China PR on Tuesday, 25 March with coverage kicking off at 9.15pm AEDT.
The Subway Socceroos are aiming to secure their place in their sixth straight FIFA World Cup and following their March match ups with Indonesia and China PR, Australia will battle it out with Japan in Perth on June 5 and finish their campaign away to Saudi Arabia on June 10.
The Socceroos currently sit second behind Japan, but just a point ahead of the other four teams in group C. With the top two teams getting automatic tickets to the 2026 World Cup, the pressure is on. Third and fourth placements would mean the Socceroos would have to qualify the hard way through the fourth-round playoffs.
