Mathew Ryan has been Australia's first-choice goalkeeper for over a decade and remains the most experienced shot-stopper the Socceroos have produced. His career has taken him across Europe's top leagues — Valencia, Club Brugge, Brighton, Arsenal, Real Sociedad, AZ Alkmaar — giving him a breadth of experience few Australian players can match. Now at Levante, he is no longer playing at the absolute top level, but his reading of the game, distribution, and penalty-saving ability — he saved a spot-kick against Peru in the 2022 World Cup playoff — make him still the clear number one for this squad.
