CommBank Socceroos Secure High-Profile Two-Match Series Against Brazil

The CommBank Socceroos are set to host five-time FIFA World Cup winners Brazil in a prestigious two-match international series in Queensland this September.

This blockbuster homecoming follows the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the fixtures serving as a strategic opportunity for the national team to test themselves against world-class opposition on Australian soil.

The series, supported by the Queensland Government and Tourism and Events Queensland, underscores the state’s ongoing commitment to establishing itself as a premier destination for major sporting events.

The first encounter is scheduled for Friday, 25 September 2026, at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville, followed by a second match at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Tuesday, 29 September.

Beyond the matches, both national squads will participate in community engagement initiatives across the state, including public training sessions, fan events, and local club visits.

Commenting on the event, and noting that these marquee fixtures are integral to the organisation’s long-term strategy, Football Australia CEO, Martin Kugeler, said: “Having Brazil come to Australia to play the CommBank Socceroos is a significant moment for Australian football and for football fans across the country.”

“These marquee fixtures are key in our strategy – to inspire our football fans, young and old, across Australia and to showcase the strength and ambition of our national teams at the highest level,” Kugeler stated. 

Emphasising that the value of playing elite-level opponents as the team builds toward future campaigns, Socceroos head coach, Tony Popovic, noted: “While my immediate focus remains firmly on our 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, I’m delighted that we are locking in fixtures of this caliber, because we want to consistently test ourselves against top-tier opposition moving forward.” 

The series is expected to provide a substantial economic boost to both North and South-East Queensland, driving tourism and local business activity.

Tickets for the general public are scheduled to go on sale at 1:00pm on Thursday, 2 July, 2026 with fans encouraged to register their interest via the official Queensland Football Series website.
