Sydney's ANZ Stadium may be the venue of another World Cup qualification triumph after it was named to host matches set to determine Australia's participation at Russia 2018.

The Socceroos will face Syria at the 83,000-seat stadium in the second leg of their Asian playoff on October 10, five days after the first game likely to be in Malaysia.

Should Australia progress from the two-match tie, they will play their final qualification match - also the second of two legs - at the Olympic stadium against the fourth-placed CONCACAF team on November 14.

ANZ Stadium was the scene of jubilation for Australian soccer in November 2005 when John Aloisi slotted the decisive penalty to give the Socceroos a shootout victory over Uruguay for a place at the 2006 World Cup.
