Mitchell Duke Facts

Mitchell’s youth career began with a local team called Liverpool Rangers. In 2009, as an 18-year-old, he joined the youth system of Parramatta FC, a semi-professional Australian soccer club based in South Granville, New South Wales. He began his senior career with the same team later that year.

In Australia’s 2nd group stage match of the 2022 edition of the FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) World Cup, against Tunisia, Mitchell scored the only goal in a 1-0 win. Australia, in the next match, recorded another 1-0 win – this time against Denmark.

This was the first instance of Australia recording 2 wins in a single edition of the FIFA World Cup. Before this, Australia had won only 2 other matches in the FIFA World Cup – a 3-1 group-stage win against Japan in 2006 and a 2-1 group-stage win against Serbia in 2010.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup also became just the 2nd edition of the tournament where Australia advanced to the knockout phase – the first and only other such occasion was in 2006 when Australia reached the pre-quarterfinal stage and lost by a 1-0 margin to eventual champions Italy.

In 2022, Australia lost its pre-quarterfinal match to the eventual champions again – this time by a 2-1 margin to Argentina. Coincidentally, France, the other team that defeated Australia at the 2022 FIFA World Cup also made it to the final of the tournament.
