Football Federation Australia are convinced the Socceroos' safety can be guaranteed in crisis-hit Bangladesh and have given next week's World Cup qualifier the green light.
Tuesday's fixture in Dhaka has been under a heavy security cloud following recent terrorist attacks, including the killing of two foreign nationals for which Islamic State claimed responsibility.
But FFA said extensive work on the ground from their own security team, as well as government intelligence and meetings with FIFA, had satisfied the organisation that the players would not be in danger.
Coach Ange Postecoglou and the squad will embark on a hit-and-run mission starting Saturday when they fly out of Sydney to Singapore, where they'll stay and train before flying to Dhaka on Monday.
They will stay only one night, leaving on Tuesday evening straight after the game.
"Prudently, we are reducing the amount of time they'll spend in Dhaka," FFA chief executive David Gallop said after the announcement.
"We are minimising the time on the ground. We believe that's a prudent response to the situation.
"A lot of work has gone into getting us comfortable ... but we're comfortable there'll be a co-ordinated response to security."
FFA had requested the match be shifted to a safer venue after the Australian cricket team cancelled its two-Test tour of Bangladesh last month.
But this was rejected by FIFA, despite the world governing body's decision last week to move two of Palestine's qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Malaysia to neutral ground.
Gallop held a meeting with players in Canberra on Thursday night after their 3-0 defeat of Kyrgyzstan to discuss the plans.
He insisted the group was comfortable with the situation given the limited time in Dhaka, and the knowledge that another win would bring them very close to progressing to the final phase of qualifying.
"If it was just a friendly that has different ramifications," Gallop said.
"This is part of a process that goes for a number of years.
"The ultimate goal is to make it to Russia in 2018, so there was a lot at stake - three points is important.
"Talking to Ange and the coaching staff, they certainly were keen to make sure the game goes ahead."
Postecoglou said the lack of concrete plans had not been "too much of a stress".
"I'm comfortable with the point we've reached, and everyone else is comfortable - most importantly the people who are in charge," he said.
Several players vowed this week to play anywhere they were told was safe enough, with Matt McKay insisting he was "not really" that worried and Mark Milligan adding on Friday he was confident in the team's security set-up.
The same guarantee was not given to travelling fans.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has not changed its advice level from "high degree of caution", but it issued a specific update on Friday urging fans to "be aware of the high threat of terrorist attack in Bangladesh".
It urged travellers to "mitigate risks" by avoiding travel at night and only by vehicle and limiting time in public places and locations frequented by foreigners.
