FA blindsided by 21-year-old’s defection ahead of 2026 World Cup
The Socceroos have been blindsided by Adrian Segecic’s defection to Croatia after learning of the playmaker’s international switch from the Croatian federation in the past fortnight.
Less than three months out from Australia’s World Cup opener in Vancouver, Segecic’s switch went through on Friday and was visible on Fifa’s change of association platform on Saturday.
