History
1999 U-17 World Championship
The Joeys best result in international football came in the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship hosted by New Zealand, where Australia finished second.
To qualify for the tournament Australia had to first win the Oceania qualifiers. This was achieved with wins over Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, American Samoa, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and again Fiji in the final which finished 5–0. Next up was a two leg play-off against Bahrain who had finished third in the 1998 AFC U-17 Championship. Australia won 3–1 on aggregate.
In the tournament proper, Australia lost their opening game 2–1 to Brazil although a come from behind 2–1 win over Germany and a 1–0 win over Mali saw Australia top the group. Australia dispatched of Qatar 1–0 in the quarter final and needed penalties to get past USA after a 2–2 draw in the semi-final. They lost the final to Brazil; the match finished nil all after extra time and Brazil won a penalty shoot-out 8–7.
A number of this Joeys squad would go on to represent the Socceroos including Adrian Madaschi, Jade North, Joshua Kennedy and Scott McDonald.
