Australia v Brazil friendly: Socceroos host Seleção in Brisbane

Australia and Brazil met in a men’s international friendly in Brisbane on 29 September 2026, with kick-off at Suncorp Stadium listed as 8.10pm AEST (7.10am BRT).

The live build-up reported the lights at Lang Park had gone down, flamethrowers were roaring and music was playing as the stadium announcer read the two line-ups to an almost sell-out crowd. Irankunda drew the loudest cheer from spectators, described in coverage as "Big Sam-Kerr-but-for-the-boys energy."

"We have to be a little bit sharper in front compared to the last game, and hope everything will be okay."

"For us, it’s another test… I think we will play a little bit different from the first game. It is a test and I would like to know about the young players who have a lot of quality."
