Episode Details

Kai Trewin, NYCFC’s rock-solid defender and Australia’s rising star, is set to make his World Cup debut in 2026—joining teammates Aiden ONeill and Lucas Herrington as the only MLS players on the squad. Hailing from Batemans Bay, Trewin’s journey from A-League legend to MLS mainstay has been seamless, with over 160 caps domestically and nearly every start for NYCFC this season. With five senior caps and a debut in November 2025, this World Cup marks his first taste of global soccer’s biggest stage. Australia, in Group A with the USA, Paraguay, and Türkiye, aims to build on their historic Round of 16 runs, having qualified by finishing second behind Japan in a fiercely contested campaign. With expanded 48-team format boosting their chances, Trewin’s leadership and versatility could be pivotal as the Socceroos chase glory on home soil.
