Australia men's national soccer B team

Australia B is a secondary soccer team occasionally as support for the Australia national soccer team.

The team has only ever played nine matches; winning one, drawing six, and losing two.

The national B team was designed to give games to players who were being considered for call-up to the full national squad.

They were coached in the tournament by Eddie Thomson[1] In 1985, Australia B played two games against China in the leadup to the 1987 Ampol Cup between China and Australia.

[2] In 2007, then-Australia coach Graham Arnold, himself a former B international, flagged the idea of reviving the national B team.
