Media reports indicate that on October 10, the Australian national team will host the
Adelaide, capital of South Australia
The Oval hosts China in the third round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Asian Zone 18. Tickets for the match will go on sale on July 22nd.
South Australian Premier Peter Malinoskas made the big announcement on social media, marking the return of the Australian national team to play in Adelaide after seven years. The last time they featured at Adelaide Oval, Australia defeated Saudi Arabia in 2017. Notably, Australia have won all three of their matches at Adelaide Oval this century.
This match will be crucial for Australia as only a top two finish in the group stage will lead to direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The match against China will be an important one for Australia to compete for the top two places in the group.
The Adelaide Oval last hosted a national team match in May this year, when a friendly match between the Australian Women's Football Team and the Chinese Women's Football Team attracted 53,000 fans to the stadium, demonstrating the passion of the local fans for soccer.
Fans will be looking forward to the Oct. 10 match, hoping that the Australian national team will continue its winning record on familiar ground and lay a solid foundation for a run to the 2026 World Cup.
