Professional Footballers Australia, which represents the nation’s elite professional football players, released a video with some members of the squad sharing where they were born and, in some cases, when they arrived in Australia.
“The Socceroos are the best representation right now of what Australia is,” said defender Jason Geria in the video.
SBS News asked Australian fans attending the Socceroos’ first game against Türkiye in Vancouver what they thought of the video.
