Türkiye
Türkiye are the opening group opponent for Australia, with the match set for Jun 14, 2026 at BC Place Vancouver in Vancouver. FIFA rank #22 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.

Paraguay
Paraguay are the third group opponent for Australia, with the match set for Jun 26, 2026 at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium in San Francisco Bay Area. FIFA rank #40 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
Egypt
Egypt are the third group opponent for Australia, with the match set for Jul 3, 2026 at Dallas Stadium in Dallas. FIFA rank #29 is a useful marker, but the match will still come down to availability, tempo and set-piece control.
