The Socceroos have landed in Russia with tens of thousands of green and gold fans ahead of their first World Cup Game against France on Saturday.
But they will be supported by their wives, girlfriends and families during the world’s biggest sporting jamboree.
From a catering company owner to a former Britain’s Next Top Model contestant: meet the Socceroo WAGs cheering on their partners.
Dani Jones (Brad Jones)
Physiotherapist Dani Lawrence, who appeared on the 2007 series of Britain’s Next Top Model, married goalkeeper Brad Jones in Cheshire, England in 2015.
The pair met in 2008 when Dani, 31, was working as a physio for the youth team at Middlesbrough where Feyenoord keeper Jones, 36, played until 2010.
She once admitted the teenage boys often ‘pretended’ to be injured so they could see her and joked: ‘Everyone used to say the clinic got busier when I was in.’

The pair have a son Nico, six, and a four-year-old daughter named Romi.
In 2011, Brad lost his firstborn child Luca, from a previous relationship, who was just six at the time, after an 18-month battle with acute myeloid leukemia.
Even though Luca was from Brad’s previous relationship, Dani said she struggled with a mix of guilt and joy when their first child Nico was born.
