### Australia men's national soccer team

Australia began the first of a six-match series hosting Canada with the first match at Brisbane Cricket Ground on 7 June with seven players making their national team debuts and winning the match 3–2 via two goals from Judy Masters and one from Dave Ward. The next week saw four more debutants for the second match played at the Royal Agricultural Showground on 14 June, where Australia lost 1–0 to Canada. The third match was played at the same venus on 23 June, this time Australia claiming the win 4–1 against Canada through braces by Judy Masters and William Maunder. Five days later in their fourth match of the series, Australia drew their first international match 0–0 against Canada at Newcastle Showground on 28 June. With two days rest heading into the fifth match and what initially was to be the final match of the series against Canada at Jubilee Oval in Adelaide on 12 July, Australia lost for the second time in the series 4–1 with William Maunder scoring the goal for Australia. It was confirmed that a sixth match would be held at the Royal Agricultural Showground on 26 July, in which Australia would win 1–0 against Canada with Judy Masters scoring the winning goal. Australia's six match series against Canada in 1924 resulted in three wins, one draw, and two losses.
