Australia switched from the Oceania to the Asian Football Confederation in 2006, transforming their World Cup qualifying path. They've qualified for 6 of the last 7 tournaments since making the move.
Australia holds the record for the largest international victory in football history — a 31-0 win over American Samoa in a 2001 World Cup qualifier. Archie Thompson scored 13 goals in that match.
The Socceroos play matches across some of the most extreme time zones in football. Australian fans routinely wake at 2am or 4am to watch World Cup matches live — earning a reputation as the world's most sleep-deprived supporters.
