The Socceroos will be competing at their fifth straight World Cup at Qatar 2022.
Australia are now no strangers to the tournament and how important it is to get the preparations right.
A key part of that is selecting a suitable training base for players that keeps them primed to shine on the pitch.
As one of the last teams to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, the Socceroos' options were limited in Qatar but they have locked in what appears to be a solid option.

Where are the Socceroos staying in Qatar?
Australia will be based at the Aspire Academy in Qatar's capital, Doha, for the 2022 World Cup.
Aspire Academy was created in 2004 and has been used by Qatari athletes and even their own footballers.
Socceroos players will be staying in the site's student accommodation which boasts 128 double rooms and four suites.
Australia's choices for Qatar were limited as they were the second last nation to qualify for the tournament after having to navigate the intercontinental playoffs in June.
Qatar and Ghana aren't staying at the academy but will be sharing some of the venue's six pitches with the Socceroos during the tournament.
There is also an Aussie connection at Aspire Academy with former star player Tim Cahill currently working as their Chief Sports Officer.

How far is the Socceroos training camp from games?
