The Socceroos take on Brazil in a two-game international friendly series over the next few days.
The first match will be played at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Friday night, with the second match played at Suncorp Stadium on Tuesday.
The Socceroos have no shortage of exciting homegrown talents that will take to the field during these friendlies, such as Nestory Irankunda, Lucas Herrington and Alessandro Circati, all of whom have inked overseas deals with European clubs following their 2026 FIFA World Cup performances.
Brazil haven't shied away from bringing superstars over to Australia for their friendly squad, with plenty of big players named to play against the Socceroos. Here are the players to look out for.
7. Raphael Dias Belloli (Raphinha)
FC BARCELONA, FORWARD - LaLiga
One of the biggest names for Carlo Ancelotti's Brazilian squad coming over to Australia is Raphinha. The striker has had an exceptional start to his season at his Spanish club, FC Barcelona. He has recorded 14 goals and three assists in only eight appearances for the Spanish giants so far in the 26/27 La Liga season and does not appear to be slowing down.
According to beIN Sports, Ancelotti has named Raphinha in the starting squad, saying his move from the wing to the striker position is working.
"Raphinha is doing something spectacular in a position that wasn't originally his, but it looks like it is now," Ancelotti said.
