Join the nation in supporting the Socceroos
June 23, 2026
Australian football fever is sweeping the nation, with more than 11.6 million Australians already tuning into SBS’s FIFA World Cup 2026™ coverage during the opening nine days of the tournament.
This Friday, classrooms across Australia have the chance to become front-row seats for a national event. The Socceroos take on Paraguay at 12 noon AEST / 11:30am ACST / 10am AWST this Friday, 26 June in a match that could prove decisive in determining whether Australia advances to the knockout stages.
Host an SBS Watch Party at your School
For students, watching live sport on the world stage offers much more than entertainment.
SBS Learn’s The World Game resource includes activities designed around watching live – before, during and after the match. It tackles key themes around diversity, inclusion and teamwork, using the world game to explore what connects us as global citizens.
Schools can use the occasion to:
- Celebrate national pride and community spirit
- Explore global cultures and international competition
- Discuss teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship
- Engage students in real world events as they happen
- Create memorable shared experiences across year levels
Print and display this poster around your school to spread the word.
