About Kai Trewin
Kai Trewin is a defender for New York City and one of Tony Popovic's final 26 for the 2026 World Cup. He is 25 at kick-off and arrives with 5 senior caps for Australia, a young squad member rather than a settled regular. His call-up adds defensive cover to Popovic's group-stage options.
Australia were drawn in Group D with United States, Paraguay and Turkey. They open against Turkey at BC Place in Vancouver on 13 June, then face United States at Lumen Field in Seattle on 19 June before meeting Paraguay at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on 25 June. Australia came through as runner-up in AFC third-round Group C, qualifying on 10 Jun 2025.

Playing Style
Trewin is a New York City defender, and the job at the back is a familiar one: keep the opposition out, clear the danger, hold the line. That is the role he fills for his country, where he has picked up 5 senior caps. Tony Popovic has named him in the 26 for the 2026 World Cup, and at 25 he heads to the finals as one of the manager's younger defensive options for Australia.
World Cup History
The 2026 World Cup will be Kai Trewin's first. The defender has no previous senior appearances behind him, so the finals mark a genuine debut on the biggest stage rather than a return to it. Tony Popovic has handed the New York City man a place in his final 26 all the same, trusting a young head among the names he takes into the group stage and betting that the experience will repay the faith well beyond this summer.
