Graham Arnold’s Socceroos face the Three Lions on October 13 at Wembley – almost three years since the date they were originally pencilled in to play there before the fixture was scrapped due to COVID-19.

It gives Arnold’s men another chance to prove their credentials at the highest level after their terrific run to the World Cup round of 16 in Qatar, where Gareth Southgate’s England were knocked out in the quarter-finals by France.

No Australian national team has played on Wembley’s hallowed turf. The famous win over England in 2003 was played at Upton Park, the former home of West Ham United. Their most recent meeting in 2016 was at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland.

No Australian team has played at Wembley.
