About This Match
Paraguay face Australia in the Group Stage of Group D on Thursday, June 25, 2026. Paraguay are ranked #26 in the world and managed by Gustavo Alfaro; Australia sit at #25 under Tony Popovic. The match kicks off at 19:00 local time at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco Bay Area.
Paraguay
Paraguay bring a proud World Cup tradition to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having reached the quarter-finals at South Africa 2010 where they were only eliminated by Spain. Newcastle United's Miguel Almirón, one of the Premier League's most popular midfielders, provides star quality, while the creative Julio Enciso adds dynamism. Under veteran CONMEBOL coach Gustavo Alfaro, Los Guaraníes are a disciplined, hard-working side that will be competitive in Group D against the United States, Australia, and Turkey. Paraguay's ability to organise defensively and strike on the counter-attack makes them dangerous opponents for any side.

Australia arrive at World Cup 2026 off the back of their best-ever tournament - a fairytale run to the quarter-finals at Qatar 2022, where they defeated Denmark and Argentina's nemesis Saudi Arabia before pushing eventual champions Argentina hard. The Socceroos, now coached by Tony Popovic, have lost key figures from that generation but retain a competitive nucleus eager to repeat or better that feat. Group D pits Australia against co-hosts United States, Paraguay, and Turkey - a competitive group where they must be at their best to qualify. Australian football is in a positive place, and a motivated Socceroos squad will be tough to beat.
