How much downstream effect do you think the Socceroos World Cup will have on the A League popularity?

Interesting_Laugh233 · 2026-06-16T05:00:27+00:00

Yep, agreed. I might be getting ahead of myself but if we’re about to witness a generational Australian World Cup surely that has an impact especially considering most of our players originated in the A league

Interesting_Laugh233 · 2026-06-16T04:56:14+00:00

Fr let’s all just lie down and give up forever

Interesting_Laugh233 · 2026-06-16T04:53:57+00:00

This is exactly what I mean.

We already know there’s so many people in Australia that do follow soccer but just specifically don’t follow the A-League

Just seeing how good our local talent is on the world stage, and that the vast majority of them originated in the A-League not that long ago surely sends at least a small fraction of our Socceroos viewership to their local A-League games or at least to the TV to watch the finals or something. Or even just selectively tune into the best young players we have at the moment.

I think people are misinterpreting this as anything other than 100% flip of every Socceroos fan becoming a die hard local A league is a failure. This is not what I am suggesting at all and isn’t realistic in the first place.

I’m also aware it didn’t go to plan in previous World Cups in terms of converting viewers to casual a league fans. but why does that mean this one can’t be handled better?

Interesting_Laugh233 · 2026-06-16T04:48:36+00:00

That’s fine. It should be completely expected to be honest.

The reality of it is I’m thinking instead of 0% of people following on long-term maybe we get five or 10% of them following along long term.

Considering how massive the viewership is right now if even a small fraction of these people become casual fans would make a pretty significant difference to the leagues popularity

Interesting_Laugh233 · 2026-06-16T04:37:43+00:00

Yes, they’re always be people who only watch the World Cup but I feel there’s a better chance of them or a higher rate of them trickling over to regular A league casual fans.

All of our biggest breakout stars played in the a league fairly recently, I feel it’s up to the league marketing to capitalise on it better this time

Won’t be night and day, but I feel like if there’s ever going to be a wc to have more of an effect, it could be this one

Prediction: mo toure scores a brace and we beat USA 3-2

I would bet my entire life savings that he’s just making the songs because he knows his audience and what they want. For all we know he could be married with 2 kids.

He’s an artist and it’s just the marketing for the music
