The next round on the Road to the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar is about to begin for our Socceroos!
The Socceroos will face China PR this Thursday (Friday 4am AEST) in their opening game of Round 3, before facing Vietnam a few days later.
While we won't be able to support the Socceroos in the stadium, both games will be live & free via Channel 10 - the new home of Australian football.
If the Socceroos finish top two in their group - also featuring Japan, Oman & Saudi Arabia - they'll qualify directly for the next FIFA World Cup.
If they finish third, they'll then play a two-legged playoff against the third-place team in the other AFC group, and then if they progress beyond that, they'll play a two-legged playoff against an intercontinental side.
See which 27 players have been selected for the squad
