Bio
Alessandro Circati has quickly established himself as one of the emerging leaders of the CommBank Socceroos.
Born in Fidenza, Italy before moving to Perth at the age of one, Circati developed through the Perth football pathway before moving to Parma, where he established himself across both Serie B and Serie A.
Circati made his CommBank Socceroos debut against New Zealand in October 2023. His progress was interrupted by an ACL injury suffered while training with Parma in September 2024, but an impressive recovery saw him return to action and play an important role as Australia secured qualification for the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
His leadership qualities were recognised when he captained Australia against New Zealand in September 2025, becoming the fourth-youngest Socceroos captain and the youngest since 1981.
Circati made his World Cup debut in Australia’s 2-0 victory over Türkiye in 2026 and became an important part of the side that progressed to the Round of 32. The composed centre-back completed more passes than any other Socceroo across the tournament, further establishing himself as a key figure in Australia’s defence.
