The Socceroos are playing a crucial 2022 World Cup qualifier against Japan in Sydney tonight.
Automatic qualification to football’s biggest tournament is on the line and the Socceroos must win if they want to have a chance of going directly to the tournament rather than having to navigate sudden death playoffs between both an Asian and South American team.
Australia’s currently third in their qualifying group with two games remaining. Japan tonight and Saudi Arabia next week.
Win both these matches and Australia is through the World Cup in Qatar!
It won’t be easy. Japan defeated Australia 2-1 the last time the two sides met back in October.
What time do the Socceroos play Japan?
Kick-off for the Socceroos vs Japan at Stadium Australia in Homebush is scheduled for 8:10pm AEDT.
That’s 7:10pm AEST for those in Queensland, 7:40pm ACDT for South Australians and 5:10pm AWST for those in Western Australia.
