Description: Awer Mabil is more than just a brilliant winger — he’s a symbol of resilience, hope, and what Australia is all about. Born in a Kenyan refugee camp to South Sudanese parents, he rose through the ranks to become a Socceroo and score in the shootout that sent Australia to the 2022 World Cup. On and off the pitch, Mabil champions inclusion, opportunity, and giving back, co-founding the Barefoot to Boots charity to support refugees. He’s the Aussie dream in motion — fast, fearless, and full of heart.
Description: Here’s our version of the mascot Australia should’ve taken to the 1974 World Cup in West Germany: Roo-dy ’74 — a wide-eyed kangaroo in a too-proud-to-care Socceroos kit, rocking the ultimate Aussie accessory, a classic cork hat. He didn’t score goals, but he dodged flies with elite agility and bounced into Bavarian hearts with every hop. With a pouch full of underdog spirit and a face that said “what’s offside?”, Roo-dy wasn’t just a mascot — he was a vibe. Not officially recognised by FIFA, but forever part of Aussie football folklore.
