Socceroos v Japan: with World Cup qualification points at stake, we challenged Australia’s best young footballers to step up and put pressure on every spot in the national squad. Four elite football challenges were set up outside the stadium on match night. Hundreds of players fought it out. With skill as their only currency, ten players forced their way inside the stadium onto the Socceroos bench. It was an unrivalled chance to experience international football at the coalface, next to the players they hope to one day eclipse.
