Paul Izzo represents a fantastic story of hard work and consistent improvement to take part in his first major tournament for the CommBank Socceroos.
The 31-year-old the first decade of his career as an A-League Men’s journeyman. He was part of Adelaide’s winning Australia Cup (then FFA Cup) teams in 2014, 2018 and 2019 and was the Mariners Player of the Year in 2016/17.
In August 2021, during his time in Greece for Xanthi, he was called up to his first senior Socceroos squad. Two seasons at Melbourne Victory between 2022 and 2024 earned him a move to Randers in the Danish Superliga in 2024.
When he finally earned his Socceroos debut in November 2025, Izzo shone, keeping a clean sheet against New Zealand in a hard-fought match. His performances in an Australian jersey have put him in serious contention to make his first appearance at a World Cup in the United States.
