Soccerers AFC Asian Cup 2024 Schedule
The Socceroos will be hoping to improve on their disappointing quarter-final exit at the 2019 Asian Cup, but the team has improved by leaps and bounds since then and is looking to secure their second Asian Cup title after reaching the final and winning their first. I’ll be aiming for it. In 2015.
On paper, they are in a good group to play India in their first game, then face Syria and then Uzbekistan to close out the group stage.
