Stats & Facts:
Although the team previously wore short-sleeved shirts, this is a nice long-sleeved version that was worn by Andy Bernal with back number 12 (hardly to notice), who was known as a very tough defender. He later became a soccer agent and personal manager to David Beckham. In 2021 he wrote and published his autobiography Riding Shotgun - The Original Wizard of Oz, and just 2 years later he published his second book entitled The Vibe Manager - an inside look at the 2023 A-League Champions.

Stats & Facts:
After a three years partnership with the equipment supplier Kingroo, followed by one season kit, the Australian Soccer Federation has signed a new contract again with Adidas. One of the first important games was the World Cup qualifying match vs Canada for the road to the World Cup hosted in USA. After a 1-2 loss away in Edmonton the Socceroos have equalized this result with an own 2-1 win at home after 90 minutes. A penalty shootout was needed to select the final winner. The Socceroos keeper was able saving two penalties which made the difference on that day. Senior newcomer Mark Schwarzer became the match day hero and Australia advance to play Argentina for the final World Cup spot. It shouldn't have been the last time in Australia's World Cup qualify history that Mark Schwarzer saves another two penalties during a penalty shootout.

15th August 1993 – Australia 2 – 1 Canada (4-1 penalty goals)

Stats & Facts:
To qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, the Socceroos had to compete in two playoff games against football giant Argentina. Until today, both games are among the best performances of the Australian national team, even if you only narrowly failed to qualify for the World Cup in the end. Eddie Thomson's team first fought 1-1 in the first leg on home ground and ultimately failed due to a deflected goal in the second leg in Buenos Aires, with just under 60,000 spectators. Football world star Maradona swapped his jersey with Australian midfielder Robbie Slater, who never lost sight of Diego in both games.

Stats & Facts:
We can attribute the jersey to goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac, but it is unclear in which match this jersey was worn. Based on the name on the back, it should not be a friendly match. Kalac wore the number 18 in the match against Solomon Islands, among others, but without a shirt name.

Stats & Facts:
In 1997 the goalkeeper shirt of the Socceroos was known as one of the most unique kit you probably have ever seen in football history. That jersey was definitely „a special one“ Adidas has released when football took over the cosmos. Australias goalkeeper John Filan has been in the starting squad for his second time and could celebrate quite a clear win over Hungary in his last appearance for the Socceroos. The match has also been the first meet between both countries and the team in Green & Gold has always been the winner.

Stats & Facts:
It was the first and only Golden goal the Socceroos were ever able to score in football history. This time in the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup semi-final match against the "Urus" by our "Golden Boy" Harry Kewell. Harry just needed 2 minutes (1min, 16seconds) in extra time to win the game with his shot outside the box. The very first Golden goal has been scored by Young Socceroo (U20) Anthony Carbone in the 1993 FIFA Youth Championshop match against Uruguay. The last ever scored Golden goal of the Asutralian national team has been scored by forward Damian Mori against Tahiti during the 2002 Oceania Nations Cup (OFC) semi-finals. It hasn't been the proper Socceroos squad, but a selection of locally based players who played the OFC tournament in New Zealand.

Stats & Facts:
This jersey could also have been worn by Australia's U23 or U20 team, as no shirt name is given. Midfielder Craig Foster usually wore the number 8 in his Socceroos matches, so we believe this jersey belongs to him, although it may never have been used for a match without a shirt name.

Stats & Facts:
This goalkeeper jersey was worn in this color in the match against New Zealand with the number 1 by Kalac. However, as this jersey is signed by Mark Schwarzer, it could also have been intended for the match against Scotland (November 15th, 2000). In this game, however, the yellow jersey variant was chosen. The sleeves were subsequently cut off by the previous owner to make it easier to hang in a jersey frame.

It was the only win ever Australia achieved against „The Bravehearts“ till today (2024).

The upcoming match might become a draw which has to end 2-2 of course. Time to bid!
