Breaking News: Rising talents that are Determine to catch the attention of national team Selectors
A new generation of Melbourne City FC players is eager to make its presence felt on the international stage, with several stars eyeing a place in the Socceroos setup. As Australia looks ahead to a busy international calendar, these rising talents that are determined to catch the attention of national team selectors.
Among the top contenders is midfielder Terry Antonis, who has enjoyed a standout A-League season. Known for his vision, composure, and passing range, Antonis has been a consistent performer in City’s engine room. With experience in Europe and a strong domestic campaign behind him, he is pushing hard for a recall to the national side.
Another exciting prospect is young winger Arion Sulemani, whose blistering pace and flair have lit up the A-League this season. At just 20, Sulemani has already become a fan favourite, delivering goals and assists in crucial moments. His fearless style and creativity could offer the Socceroos a fresh attacking option.
Meanwhile, defender Curtis Good remains a steady presence at the back. A former Socceroos cap, Good has put in several commanding performances this year, displaying leadership and defensive solidity. His experience and form make him a strong candidate for reintegration into Graham Arnold’s plans, especially as Australia seeks depth in central defence.
City head coach Aurelio Vidmar believes his players have what it takes to step up to international football. “There’s a lot of quality in this squad,” Vidmar said. “We’ve got players who are hungry, disciplined, and ready to represent Australia. It’s only a matter of time before some of them get that opportunity.”
With World Cup qualifiers and the AFC Asian Cup on the horizon, the Socceroos are expected to rotate and experiment with squad selections. This opens the door for in-form domestic players to stake their claim, and Melbourne City’s crop is determined to seize the moment.
Beyond their individual ambitions, the hunger for national recognition reflects the club’s broader commitment to development and excellence. As City continues to nurture top-tier Australian talent, its players remain firmly focused on translating club success into green and gold honours.
The message from City’s stars is clear: they’re not just content with club glory—they want to shine on the biggest stage for their country.
