Australia Soccer Team
The Australia national football team, known
by their nickname, the Socceroos, is Australia's men's national
association football team. They are organised by the Football
Federation Australia (until 2005 called Australian Soccer
Association), the national governing body for football in
Australia.
The national team played at the World Cup finals
in West Germany in 1974, which to date has been their only
appearance in this event. Over more recent years, the Australian
team is known for its near misses in its attempts to qualify
for the World Cup, most notably the 1998 and 2002 events.
