FOOTBALL in Toowoomba is in for a big boost following the qualification of the Socceroos for next year's World Cup in Brazil.
The Socceroos booked a spot in their third-straight World Cup with a tough 1-0 win over Iraq in Sydney on Tuesday night and the victory was the talk of the town in the football community.
More interestingly was also a topic of discussion for non-football followers.
Harristown State High School is home to many of the best up-and-coming football talents on the Darling Downs through its academy program and football co-ordinator Peter Broadfoot thinks qualification for Brazil will provide another boon for the game in the area.
"It did last time. Every time you see a great spike in the game," he said.
Broadfoot said in Queensland most kids could easily recognise rugby league star Johnathan Thurston and hopefully more of the Socceroos would now enjoy a better profile in Australia.
