Bio
Aziz Behich is one of the most experienced CommBank Socceroos of his generation, representing Australia across three FIFA World Cups and three AFC Asian Cups.
The Melbourne-born left-back made his international debut in 2012 after impressing with Melbourne Heart (now Melbourne City) in the A-League Men. He went on to become a regular in the national team and was part of the squad that lifted the AFC Asian Cup 2015™ on home soil.
At club level, Behich spent more than a decade playing in Australia and overseas, with spells at clubs including Bursaspor, PSV Eindhoven and Dundee United before returning to Melbourne City. He has also delivered several memorable moments in green and gold, including his late winner against Japan during qualification for the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
Having started all four of Australia’s matches at the FIFA World Cup 2022™, Behich returned for his third World Cup in 2026 and featured as the Socceroos progressed to the Round of 32, reaching the knockout stages at consecutive tournaments for the first time.
