Sydney: Football Federation Australia (FFA) has confirmed that Socceroos great Tim Cahill will be recognised for his contribution to the sport in Australia when they take on Lebanon at the ANZ Stadium on November 20.
Cahill, who recently announced his retirement from international football, is set to put on the green and gold one last time against the Cedars when the two teams clash in November’s international friendly at Sydney Olympic Park.
FFA Chief Executive Officer David Gallop AM said that Cahill, who is Australia’s greatest ever goalscorer at the international level with 50 goals from 107 appearances, deserved the chance to bid farewell to the fans that have supported him over the past 14 years of his career in national team colours.
“Tim’s contribution to football and the Socceroos especially over the past 14 years has been immense,” said Gallop. “When Tim made the decision to retire from international football we swiftly began discussions internally, and with him and his management team, regarding how FFA could provide Tim with an appropriate send-off on home soil.
